The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 893 - 284: One Arrow, Four Hawks—A Chilling Scheme!
Yun Jing and the other three unconsciously took half a step back. Although they knew Cao Zhengyang, they had never felt the terror of this Taiqing Sect Leader so vividly until now.
Cao Zhengyang paced to Dubhe and gently said, "Actually, I have quite a bit of faith in you, mainly because you are younger compared to Master Lingxu."
"Otherwise, why would I only harm him and not you?"
Then, he leaned in closer.
"Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your performance."
At this moment, Dubhe was already panicking, a desperate will to survive made him tremble, nearly shouting as he nodded repeatedly.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk. That dried corpse is indeed controlled and driven by us; it’s currently locked up in the prison at the back of the mountain."
"This whole matter was organized by Master Yuheng thoroughly. Specifically, it started during the Five Sects War. We discovered a cave under the gobi desert by accident..."
Dubhe was now paying no regard, revealing all the secrets of the Phecda Sect, his eyes filled with a desperate madness.
As each secret was unveiled, everyone’s expressions grew increasingly grave.
This layout that spanned several years was more vicious and crafty than imagined, and far larger in scale.
Halfway through listening, almost instinctively everyone turned to look at Zhou Qing.
The young man stood with his hands behind him, his expression unusually calm.
Because Dubhe’s confession was precisely in line with Zhou Qing’s meticulous analysis earlier!
If Zhou Qing hadn’t insisted on pursuing the investigation, the Taiqing Sect would have already been mutually devastated with the Golden Thunder Sect, ultimately letting the Phecda Sect reap the benefits.
Yun Jing and the other three’s faces were pale. They prided themselves on being flawless in strategy, yet they never imagined they were already caught in the midst of it.
They never expected that the usually unassuming Phecda Sect had such deep and far-reaching plans!
As for Lu Yaoyao, her eyes were sparkling brightly, full of admiration as she gazed at Zhou Qing.
It was as if the person standing in front of her wasn’t a fellow disciple but a peerless hero capable of turning the tide.
Yan Xiaohu and Li Daoxuan furrowed their brows, looking at Zhou Qing, then back at themselves, simultaneously letting out a light sigh.
Indeed, there are differences between people.
This sudden sect warfare, in hindsight, proved to be the most correct decision.
If there was any hesitation, once the Phecda Sect’s scheme succeeded, the Taiqing Sect would fall into a land of irrecoverable disaster. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Tian Hong was deliberately sent by us to disrupt your focus... On your side, there are several undercover agents from us; this is the list... The Sect Leader of Golden Thunder Sect, Lei Wuji, should have turned into a half-human, half-ghost by now..."
"Originally, according to the plan, we were also going to use his hand, along with our secret pushes, to take the lives of the two Peak Masters of Taiqing Sect... By the way, leave me here, I can still manipulate the decisions of Cangyan Daoist Palace’s Palace Master Sikong Yan..."
"A total of eight drops of heart’s blood, this was back then..."
Dubhe continuously wracked his brain, revealing one useful clue after another, just to trade for a chance at life.
Zhou Qing, listening to the end, frowned deeply, his eyes surging with palpable killing intent.
If this sect warfare hadn’t been launched in time, in a year, the two Uncles would have truly been calculated to death by them.
And the sect, even in revenge, would end up mistakenly avenging wrongfully.
Such a chain of venomous schemes, truly kills without leaving a trace of blood!
Cao Zhengyang’s expression was filled with killing intent as well, just never expected, they could actually control Sikong Yan.
A dozen Peak Masters wore gloomy expressions. Who could have thought the usually sycophantic Phecda Sect hid such deep fangs?
On the surface, acting like a vassal of Cangyan Daoist Palace, but in reality, the manipulator behind the scenes.
No wonder during the Canglan Mountain battle, Sikong Yan obviously backstabbed everyone, but after that, the Phecda Sect still willingly acted as his henchman.
Impressive, truly impressive!
The four major sects were almost played quietly within their hands.
"There’s one more matter concerning Immortal Xuan You of Cyan Feather Immortal Sect!" Quickly, Dubhe spoke to the last, as if suddenly remembering something, his voice suddenly heightened.
Yun Jing and the other three shuddered, four sharp gazes shot out like swords.
Damned Phecda Sect, what other venomous schemes have they hidden against her?
But Dubhe shrank back and covertly glanced at Cao Zhengyang, his throat moving as he said, "This matter... this matter must be reported to Taiqing Sect."
Cao Zhengyang instinctively glanced at Yun Jing and the others, though unwilling, they could only prepare to leave to avoid suspicion.
But unexpectedly, Cao Zhengyang calmly said, "Stay. Now that Cyan Feather Immortal Sect and Taiqing Sect are closely allied, any secret should be shared openly."
All at once, Yun Jing and the other three trembled, their eyes instantly reddening.
In fact, with the Taiqing Sect’s current strength, there’s really no need to pay them any heed. Even if they want, the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect could be the next Phecda Sect.
But not only did Cao Zhengyang not treat them as subservient, he used the most straightforward manner to offer enough trust and respect at this critical moment.
This magnanimity weighed heavier than any alliance pledge.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Cao!" The four simultaneously clasped their hands and bowed in salute.
Zhou Qing smacked his lips inwardly, realizing his Master had taught them all this clever management of hearts and minds.
Dubhe’s heart tightened, initially intending to sow discord, yet it felt so feeble against the openness of Cao Zhengyang.
At this moment, Dubhe could only turn his gaze to Yun Jing: "Dare I ask, did Immortal Xuan You fall seriously ill after entering Cyan Feather Immortal Sect back then?"
Yun Jing’s pupils contracted slightly, after a brief pondering, she reluctantly nodded, "Yes, but how did you know?"
Back then, when Xuan You entered the sect, before she changed her name, she was merely an unnoticed Qi Condensation novice, and so much time has passed, hardly anyone would pay attention to that.
