Chapter 622 But how do we kill them?
"Speaking of this, there is another doubt." Yin Ranyue left Qin Ziling's arms, sat up straight and said: "Lei Xiao once mentioned that she and I surrendered to the old man and begged him to let us live, but the old man disagreed and only wanted to let Lei Xiao go but insisted on killing me.
Even though I am the head of Xuanting Peak, I am only a Earth Immortal in the late stage of the Immortal Infant Realm. Even though I have the physique of a thunder spirit root and have accumulated powerful power, I can fight against a second-grade True Immortal. But what kind of important figure is a second-grade True Immortal to such powerful forces as the Jiuxuan Sect and the Netherworld Palace? "
"Your strength is indeed considered to be a very important figure in some blessed places, but to the Nine Profound Sect and the Netherworld Palace, you are actually just an insignificant little person. If they want to kill you, it is most likely because of your position as the leader of Xuanting Peak, not because of you as a person!
But you, the Peak Master of Xuanting Peak, are just in name only. Lei Xiao only brought you here because he recognized you as his master. The sect master and other peak masters actually still regard you as a junior and will not really treat you as an equal to the Peak Master.
It can be said that for a peak master like you, apart from the factor of Lei Xiao, once you have an accident, with the background of the Jiuxuan Sect, he can easily find someone to take the position of peak master. Why does he have to kill you? If he kills you, he will lose a Taoist treasure, but if he doesn't kill you, he can gain both a person and a treasure.
The old man would understand the obvious gains and losses! But he would rather destroy the Purple Thunder Staff than kill you. This is really strange. What is his real purpose? "Qin Ziling analyzed Yin Ranyue's question, but found that the matter was getting more and more strange. He stood up and paced back and forth on the top of the mountain, touching his chin.
This matter involves Yin Ranyue's safety, so he must sort it out.
Seventeen years ago, he failed to protect Yin Ranyue. This time, he would never allow this to happen again.
Lei Xiao and Yin Ranyue couldn't help but frown when they saw Qin Ziling pacing back and forth.
They couldn't figure it out either.
"Ran Yue, when you went out, did you leave a soul tablet in the sect?" Qin Ziling suddenly stopped and asked.
"Yes. When important disciples of the sect go out, those below the fourth rank of True Immortal are required to leave their souls behind." Yin Ranyue replied.
"That is to say, if you are killed, the Jiuxuan Sect will know immediately." Qin Ziling stopped stroking his chin and asked again: "If you are killed, who will be able to take the position of the peak master? Or who will benefit?"
"Do you suspect that there are traitors in Jiuxuan Sect who are colluding with Netherworld Palace?" Yin Ranyue and Lei Xiao were surprised and astonished when they heard this.
“I just thought about it. You have only been in Jiuxuan Sect for more than ten years. Because of your mental disorder, even the teachers and leaders of Jiuxuan Sect began to ignore you. However, the Netherworld Palace specially sent a sixth-grade True Immortal and a fourth-grade True Immortal to hunt you down and kill you. This has absolutely nothing to do with you as a person, but only with your position as the peak master.
Since it is determined that it is related to your position as the peak master, we can only speculate along this path. Then the question can only go back to, if you are killed, who is likely to sit on the peak master position, or someone can benefit from it! They are the most suspicious. "Qin Ziling explained.
"If something happens to me, the one who has the best chance of becoming the peak master in Xuanting Peak is Elder Ke Changsuo, who is also the elder who is most enthusiastic about the position of peak master." Yin Ranyue paused for a moment and added, "Also, if something happens to me this time and the Purple Sky Xuanting Staff falls into the hands of that old man, Xuanting Peak will definitely be immediately removed from the list of Xuanfengs. If Xuanting Peak is removed from the list of Xuanfengs, Diyou Peak will have the best chance of replacing Xuanting Peak and becoming one of the nine Xuanfengs."
"Diyou Peak?" Lei Xiao frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he remembered something.
"Is there any problem with Diyou Peak?" Qin Ziling asked.
"I vaguely remember that after the battle between Jiuxuan Sect and Netherworld Palace, Jiuxuan Sect seized the Netherworld Palace's foundation, which also included many of Netherworld Palace's cultivation techniques and secret arts. Many of the cultivation techniques and secret arts of the Diyou Peak lineage came from Netherworld Palace." Lei Xiao replied.
"Oh!" Qin Ziling raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Just now, Ran Yue said that the master of Diyou Peak survived the wind and fire disaster a few years ago and became the only seventh-grade true immortal among the seventy-two Difeng peaks. It seems that he may have benefited from the Netherworld Palace, so he has made rapid progress.
If something happens to Ran Yue this time, Diyou Peak will become Xuanyou Peak. With the strength of the peak master of Diyou Peak, he will be able to officially become one of the giants of Jiuxuan Sect. Unlike Ran Yue, who now only has the empty title of peak master and it is impossible for him to be on equal footing with others.
In this way, the master of Diyou Peak can not only obtain more resources for cultivation, but also know more secrets of Jiuxuan Sect. The Netherworld Palace is equivalent to arranging a real high-level spy in Jiuxuan Sect, and many secrets of Jiuxuan Sect will gradually be mastered by the Netherworld Palace!
That Ke Changsuo, since he is the elder of Xuanting Peak, according to what you said, Ranyue, he is at most a fifth-rank true immortal. Not to mention whether he is qualified to command the old man in black, even if he can, with his cultivation level, he can only be demoted to the peak master of Diting Peak. It is impossible for him to become a core figure of Jiuxuan Sect, and he cannot access high-level secrets, so his possibility is very small. "
"That makes sense!" Lei Xiao slapped his thigh upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with lightning, revealing a cold and murderous intent as he said, "Yuwensen is simply courting death! Brother Ziling, let me out, I will return to Jiuxuan Mountain immediately and inform the Sect Master of this matter."
“Informing the sect leader is simple and direct, but I’m afraid that there is more than one traitor in the Jiuxuan Sect, Yuwen Sen. This will alert the enemy! And don’t forget that Yuwen Sen is the master of a peak and a seventh-rank true immortal. Now we are just speculating and have no evidence.” Qin Ziling waved his hand.
"What should we do then?" Lei Xiao said angrily.
Although she behaved very well in front of Qin Ziling just now, she was actually a hot-tempered person by nature. After Qin Ziling's analysis, she could no longer control her temper.
"Kill the old man in black and his men first!" Qin Ziling said in a deep voice.
"Kill the old man in black and his men first?" Lei Xiao and Yin Ranyue were stunned.
If they could have killed the old man in black and his men, they wouldn't be in such a mess!
“The identities of the old man in black and his people are not to be revealed to the public. They must have some special way of contacting the traitors in the Jiuxuan Sect. Moreover, they do not contact each other at ordinary times. They will only find a way to contact each other when something important happens.
You definitely won't know how this old man in black and his men are hunting you down. You will only receive the news when they succeed.
Therefore, if we kill the old man in black and his men in the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land, others will not know where they died. Even if they do, they will not think that it has anything to do with us. "Qin Ziling analyzed.
"But how do we kill them?" Lei Xiao asked.
