The night is like ink. The sky without a bright moon is pitch black. Although there are thousands of stars twinkling, the whole world seems to have fallen into a bottomless abyss.
In the darkness, in a dark alley, Ding Qingyang looked wary and scanned the darkness around him. Only when there was no one around did he feel relieved.
A moment later, a figure came from the end of the alley. Ding Qingyang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man who was gradually approaching in the darkness, with a nervous expression on his face.
When the man came closer, Ding Qingyang could see clearly, and the expression on his face relaxed.
"Qingyang, is there any new news?" The man in the darkness was dressed in black and had one arm.
"City Lord, Shu Jun is indeed dead. Moreover, it won't be long before Zhao Butian will send troops to attack Qianlin Immortal City. At that time, our opportunity will come."
"Has Zhao Butian really decided to send troops to attack Qianlin Immortal City?" The one-armed man seemed a little unconvinced and couldn't help but ask again.
"It's absolutely true!" Ding Qingyang affirmed, "The current situation is very good for Zhao Butian. If he doesn't take this opportunity to uproot Shu Jun's power, then he will not be Zhao Butian. As long as he attacks Qianlin
Fairy City, then we can rely on the strength in our hands to rob Qianlin Fairy City."
"But with our current strength, if we want to compete with the Shadow Dynasty, I'm very worried." The one-armed man looked worried.
"Don't worry, city lord, we will definitely not fall out with Zhao Butian in a short period of time. This time Zhao Butian sends troops to attack Qianlin Immortal City, the Great Yan Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty will definitely not stand idly by. What we have to do is very simple, just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until
The two of them
When we are all defeated, we will come out to clean up the situation. By then, we will definitely get the territory of Thousand Forest Immortal City. As long as we have Thousand Lin Immortal City, our dominance can be re-expanded!" At this point, Ding Qingyang's eyes were full of joy.
The color of fanaticism.
After hearing this, the one-armed man also looked excited, "Shu Jun is dead! He died in the end!" The one-armed man couldn't help but let out a proud laugh. "Although he didn't die in my hands,
But no matter what, I will regain what I lost back then!"
Ding Qingyang nodded slightly, City Lord, there is no need to worry, although the plan is flawless, we still have to be careful and proceed step by step. "
"Don't worry Qingyang, I will naturally be sensible about this." The one-armed man said, "You must be careful next time and remember not to let Zhao Butian discover our plan. Otherwise, you and I will definitely die!"
"Yes! My subordinates must remember the City Lord's lesson!" Ding Qingyang's face was solemn.
"Qingyang, until the matter is successful, it's best for us to have less contact. Unless there is important news, don't come to me at other times." The one-armed man asked, "Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, City Lord, my subordinates understand!" Ding Qingyang said.
"Okay, since you understand this, go back." The one-armed man said, "Lest the walls have ears."
Ding Qingyang nodded, cupped his fists and said, "City Lord, take care!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Not long after Ding Qingyang left, the one-armed man also turned and left. Suddenly, there was no one in the darkness. After a long time, Liu Qingshu, also dressed in black, walked out of the darkness, thinking of the relationship between the one-armed man and Ding Qingyang just now.
Talking with a thoughtful look on his face.
Three days passed by in a flash.
Liu Qingshu's face was solemn, and he walked towards Zhao Butian's study with brisk steps.
"Master, there is news." When he saw Zhao Butian, Liu Qingshu said directly without talking nonsense.
"Oh? Is there any news so soon?" Zhao Butian looked satisfied and said with a smile, "Let's hear it."
Liu Qingshu said: "In the past few days, my subordinates have been secretly following Ding Qingyang and found that he has been in contact with Lu Lingxiao from the Tianzhi Sect, and I also overheard the conversation between the two." Then, Liu Qingshu told the conversation between Lu Lingxiao and Ding Qingyang that night.
, told Zhao Butian word for word.
After listening to Liu Qingshu's narration, Zhao Butian showed a pensive look on his face. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I, Zhao Butian, actually have such talents under me, it really surprises me.
"
After hearing this, Liu Qingshu felt a chill in his heart. He understood Zhao Butian's character. The more Zhao Butian made such an understatement, the stronger the anger in his heart became. At the moment, Lu Lingxiao and Ding Qingyang were afraid that there would be no good results.
At that moment, Liu Qingshu couldn't help but ask: "Master, what should we do with these two people next?"
Zhao Butian sneered, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm in a good mood now and want to play a game with them."
Hearing this, Liu Qingshu was startled and said in confusion: "Master, Lu Lingxiao and Ding Qingyang's conspiracy is obviously not good for us, shouldn't we kill them all?"
"Of course it is necessary to kill them all. But at the moment, I have another idea in my mind." Zhao Butian's eyes were cold and ruthless, but they also had a hint of smile, which made people feel very strange.
"Does the young master have any good ideas?" Liu Qingshu asked.
"Qing Shu, doesn't the Yin Yang Umbrella just lack a puppet to control?" Zhao Butian asked.
Liu Qingshu was startled, and instantly understood the meaning of Zhao Butian's words, "Does the young master want Lu Lingxiao to become the puppet to control the umbrella?"
Zhao Butian smiled proudly and said: "Yes, that's exactly what it is. In any case, Lu Lingxiao's cultivation is higher than that of ordinary people. If he controls the Yin-Yang Umbrella, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Liu Qingshu nodded slowly and said: "With Lu Lingxiao's cultivation and strength, it is indeed more than enough to control the yin-yang umbrella." After a pause, he added: "But in that case, wouldn't Ding Qingyang find out?"
"Don't worry Qingshu, we will never let Ding Qingyang get any information before turning Lu Lingxiao into a puppet." Zhao Butian's smile was full of cruelty and coldness.
Before Liu Qingshu could say anything else, Zhao Butian said again: "Qingshu, I don't want to waste any more time. People who betray me should always be shown some color. Otherwise, how can I convince the public?"
What?" After a pause, he said: "Qingshu, do you understand what to do next?"
Liu Qingshu nodded and said: "Don't worry, young master, my subordinates will go down and start handling this matter."
Zhao Butian nodded and said "Yes", "Then let Lu Lingxiao go into the blood pool to practice first. If he can withstand the test of the blood pool, then he will be the new generation master of the Yin and Yang Umbrella. Otherwise, we will
Just replace him with someone else."
Liu Qingshu nodded and then retreated.
Heavenly Corpse Cult, altar blood pool.
This is the forbidden area of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Only elders and leaders have the right to come here. At this time, the one-armed man Lu Lingxiao's hands and feet have been tightly locked with iron chains, and he is being pulled by a mountain.
Then he entered the altar.
Liu Qingzhu stood expressionlessly by the blood pool, looking at the red blood pool rolling like lava, frowning slightly.
"Third brother, Lu Lingxiao has been escorted over!" A voice as thick as a mountain echoed throughout the cave.
The blood pool is located in a cave. There is a kind of blood-sucking bat growing in it. The blood pool is guarded by this group of bats.
Lu Lingxiao looked panicked. When he saw Liu Qingshu, he couldn't help shouting: "Elder Liu, what mistake did I make? Why did you do this to me?"
Liu Qingshu slowly turned around, looked at Lu Lingxiao, and sneered, "Lu Lingxiao, don't you still admit it now?"
"What are you admitting?" Lu Lingxiao looked confused, "I have always been loyal to the young master and have always done my best for the Heavenly Corpse Cult. Is this also a crime?"
Liu Qingshu sneered, "What a shame! Lu Lingxiao, if you hadn't betrayed the young master, how could you have ended up like this?"
"I betrayed the young master?" Lu Lingxiao laughed wildly, "Liu Qingshu, what evidence do you have that I betrayed the young master?"
"Do you really think I have no evidence?" Liu Qingshu's eyes suddenly changed and he asked coldly.
Lu Lingxiao was a little chilled by Liu Qingshu's sharp gaze, and his aura couldn't help but drop a bit, and he stammered: "You, what evidence do you have? Show it to me! If I really betrayed the young master as you said, then
I am willing to be punished!"
Seeing that Lu Lingxiao was still so arrogant at this time, Liu Qingshu couldn't help but sigh and said: "Lu Lingxiao, you are still arrogant until now. You really can't shed tears until you see the coffin."
"Elder Liu, it's not me, Lu Lingxiao, who is dissatisfied, but I have always been loyal to the young master. You really shouldn't treat me like this!" Lu Lingxiao said indignantly.
Liu Qingshu sneered and said, "Does Ding Qingyang count as evidence?"
"Ding Qingyang?" When he heard this name, Lu Lingxiao was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, not knowing what to say.
Liu Qingshu asked: "Why, Lu Lingxiao, why didn't you speak? Doesn't Ding Qingyang count as evidence?"
"Isn't Ding Qingyang the young master's adviser? What relationship can he have with me?" Lu Lingxiao shouted still dissatisfied.
Liu Qingshu smiled slightly and said: "Yes, Ding Qingyang is indeed the counselor beside the young master. At the beginning, we didn't know what the relationship between you and Ding Qingyang was. But since we learned about the conversation between you and Ding Qingyang that night, we knew
Your relationship with Ding Qingyang is over."
"What! My conversation with Ding Qingyang?" This time, Lu Lingxiao was completely stunned. Because he suddenly discovered that his every move had long been under Liu Qingshu's surveillance.
"Liu Qingshu, you have been spying on me!" Lu Lingxiao asked fiercely with a ferocious expression.
Liu Qingshu sneered and said, "I don't have the time to monitor you. You should really ask Ding Qingyang."
"Ding Qingyang?" Lu Lingxiao asked, "Did he betray me?" Lu Lingxiao looked incredulous.
Liu Qingshu didn't say any more nonsense, and sneered: "Lu Lingxiao, you have already made an irreversible mistake. Now, please atone for your mistake!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and there were some impatient people standing aside.
Shan Yue then mentioned Lu Lingxiao.
Because Lu Lingxiao's hands and feet were tightly locked by the iron chains, he couldn't break free even if he tried to struggle. In addition, Ru Shanyue was extremely strong, so when he caught him, it was like two big iron pliers, clamping him tightly.
, so that he could not move for half a moment.
In the blood pool, the blood was rolling, filled with a pungent smell of blood. Although Lu Lingxiao had never been to the forbidden blood pool of the Heavenly Corpse Cult before. But he was also very clear about the reputation of the blood pool. Once he was thrown away
If you enter the blood pool, you will lose all memory, become a demon for life, and become a puppet in the hands of others.
After reading this, Lu Lingxiao couldn't help shouting anxiously: "Elder Liu, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance! Please!"
Liu Qingshu shook his head and said: "Lu Lingxiao, it's not that I don't give you a chance, it's that the young master doesn't give you a chance. You should understand the young master's character. No matter who it is, as long as you dare to betray him, there will be no good end. You still
Accept your fate."
"Elder Liu, please intercede with me, please. I will definitely repay you well! Please intercede with me, young master!" Lu Lingxiao shouted anxiously, sweat dripping down his forehead.
Liu Qingshu didn't listen to his nonsense anymore and said coldly: "Shan Yue, throw him in!"
Ru Shanyue said a low "Hmm", raised his hands, and threw Lu Lingxiao into the pool of blood.
"The surname is Liu! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go..." The words suddenly stopped, and what was replaced by them was a miserable howl.
