Xuan Yin was indeed an abandoned pawn, but she was not simply an abandoned pawn. Her identity, or rather the identity of their team, was very special.
They were the children of concubines from the great families of Sky Beyond Heaven, not ordinary people.
However, they were still children of concubines and were not valued in their families.
Therefore, they were chosen to carry out this mission.
There were too many uncertain factors in this mission, and it was too dangerous. Naturally, people of high status would not take the risk, but it was not reliable to leave it to ordinary people.
They became the best candidates.
They had many concerns in Sky Beyond Heaven. Although they were children of concubines, they still had their own relatives and friends. Therefore, for the lives of these people, they must spare no effort to complete the mission.
But they had to make sacrifices, at the cost of staying in this world forever.
This was the pain in Xuan Yin's heart. She did not want to be pierced by Tang Zheng's words. Her mood could be imagined.
Seeing Xuan Yin's reaction, Tang Zheng knew that he had guessed correctly. This could explain why there were no reinforcements to save her back to Sky Beyond Heaven. She could only stay in this world.
Many questions could be answered.
She was on good terms with both sides. Not only did she have a good relationship with the Emperor of the Central Plains, but she also secretly supported Nu 'erha. No matter who sat on the world, she was the person with the highest power in the world.
However, she was good at hiding, and most people did not know of her existence.
"Tell me about this matter." Tang Zheng urged in an unquestionable tone.
Xuan Yin's expression changed. In the end, she had no choice but to tell the truth about being an abandoned pawn.
When the others heard this, they suddenly understood, but they could not feel the slightest pity for her. Although there was a reason, her actions were really too hateful.
"I don't have anything to hide anymore. You already know everything." Xuan Yin said with a defeated expression.
"Really?" Tang Zheng asked.
Xuan Yin said decisively, "Of course. If you don't believe me, you can kill me."
Everyone looked at her without blinking. In the end, they believed her words. This matter was undoubtedly a pain in her heart. If even this point was dug out, there was nothing else to dig out.
Suddenly, Tang Zheng changed the topic and asked, "Let me tell you a piece of unfortunate news. Some of the cultivators you banished to the Outer Sky have returned."
"Hehe, those few that were summoned back using the Mountain River Blood Sacrifice Array? Insignificant. "Xuan Yin said jokingly, not putting those people in her eyes at all.
Tang Zheng was not surprised that she knew about the Mountain and River Blood Sacrifice Array. After all, she was a consecrator of the Azure Dragon Palace Hall.
"But there's one thing you don't know. The ones that have been summoned back aren't the same few as before. Instead, all the demons have returned." Tang Zheng said.
"What?" Xuan Yin's expression changed drastically.
Of course, she knew what kind of people the demons were.
A few hundred years ago, not only did she have dealings with the Righteous Faction, she even had contact with the Devil Race. She was very clear on the strength of these people. Then perhaps this world would undergo a world-shaking change.
"How many people?"
"At least several thousand?"
"How is that possible?" Xuan Yin's expression became more and more serious, "Only several thousand cultivators were banished back then. After so many years, how could there be several thousand survivors?"
In the past, the cultivators who were banished to the Outer Sky were used as sacrifices to strengthen the foundation of the Outer Sky. Now that so many of them had returned, didn't it mean that they weren't used as sacrifices to strengthen the foundation of the Outer Sky?
Wouldn't the Outer Sky be in danger?
What exactly happened to them in the Outer Sky?
This matter was related to Xuan Yin's mission. That was why she had such a big reaction.
Hearing this, the others could guess the reason behind it and couldn't help but look at each other.
"How many cultivators are needed to strengthen the foundation of the Outer Sky?" Tang Zheng asked with a grave expression.
Xuan Yin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Eighty to eighty percent."
"What? You mean to say that almost all the cultivators' lives are needed to strengthen the foundation of the Outer Sky?" Tang Zheng was shocked, his voice raised a few octaves as he asked in a stern voice.
The others were also shocked and looked at Xuan Yin angrily, especially Tian Chanzi. His Master was also among them. Didn't that mean that his Master would have to be sacrificed as well?
Tian Chanzi was so angry that he grabbed Xuan Yin's clothes and roared, "Venomous woman, what a vicious heart! I'm going to kill you!"
Xuan Yin once again succeeded in arousing the killing intent of another person.
Xuan Yin looked at Tian Chanzi indifferently, not saying a word.
Tian Chanzi's anger couldn't be quelled, but he didn't really kill Xuan Yin. Instead, he pushed her away.
Xuan Yin tidied up her clothes.
"Unfortunately, from the current situation, your plan didn't go as planned. Those cultivators didn't become sacrifices." Tang Zheng shook his head and said sarcastically.
Xuan Yin sighed. This was where she was puzzled. She knew the strength of those cultivators very well. How could they survive in the Outer Sky?
The strength of the Outer Sky was much higher than those cultivators. It was impossible that they couldn't catch them.
Could it be that something unusual happened in the Outer Sky?
She couldn't help but worry. Her mission was not completed. In the past, this was something she had always been proud of. Those who didn't think highly of her in the family would be very surprised and regretful after seeing her success.
She enjoyed this feeling very much.
But now she found out that it was all an illusion. She failed on the verge of success. Those people in the family would still look down on her. This frustration drove her crazy.
"Ah — —" Suddenly, she looked up to the sky and screamed, "Why is it like this? Why? Why didn't my efforts succeed? Impossible, it's impossible. You lied to me, didn't you? "
Looking at her crazy appearance, which was completely different from before, Tang Zheng didn't pity her at all. He said sarcastically, "Why would I lie to you? Why don't you ask them if I lied to you? "
Xuan Yin rolled her eyes and looked at the others. From their reactions, she immediately got the answer — — what Tang Zheng said was the truth.
This made it even harder for her to accept. It was as if her spirit had been sucked away.
"All your efforts have gone to waste. So, you've completely failed!" Tang Zheng said firmly.
The word "failed" made her tremble. Her face was ashen.
"Next, tell me more about the situation in the Outer Sky. Who is the emperor you mentioned? How strong is he? What's the situation in the Outer Sky?" Tang Zheng asked.
This question could be asked to Chi Luna, but he didn't ask in a hurry. Chi Luna had been hiding for so many years. He might not know enough about the situation in the Outer Sky.
Xuan Yin was an insider of the enemy. Naturally, she had a deeper understanding of the situation. By comparing the information of both sides, she could have a clearer understanding.
Tang Zheng used to hope to keep a distance from the Outer Sky. However, after the return of the Demon Race, he found out that the Outer Sky's foundation was unstable. In addition to Yan Qingyi's prophecy, he gradually realized that he would have to face the Outer Sky again in the future.
Understanding the situation of the enemy now would do more good than harm in the future.
Xuan Yin turned a deaf ear to him. She was in a daze and didn't answer his question.
Tang Zheng frowned and stared at her. He asked, "Tell me everything you know."
Xuan Yin still didn't answer.
"What should I do?"
"Don't you know the Soul Search Technique?" Tian Chanzi suggested.
Tian Chanzi knew the side effects of the Soul Search Technique. Therefore, he wanted to let Xuan Yin have a taste of it.
Xuan Yin didn't respond when she heard the words Soul Search Technique. Instead, she laughed like a crazy person. It was very strange.
"Hahaha, I'm so useless. I was useless in the Outer Sky, and I'm still useless now …" Xuan Yin muttered to herself.
"Hehehe … I'm useless. I'm a useless person …" She continued to talk.
"Hey, who are you? Are you here to laugh at me? What right do you have to laugh at me? " Suddenly, she raised her head and stared at everyone. It was as if she had changed into another person. She didn't recognize anyone.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Could it be that she was too shocked and lost her mind?" Everyone had the same thought.
Tang Zheng was also shocked, was Xuanyin unable to withstand such a blow? Was she crazy?
Was she pretending to be crazy and lying?
Tang Zheng sneered. I don't care if you're lying or not. I can use the Soul Search Technique to find out what I want.
He didn't want to use the Soul Search Technique because Xuan Yin was very valuable. She might be useful when dealing with the Demon Clan.
But now that she had lost her mind, there was no need to be merciful.
Tang Zheng took a step forward and grabbed her. She looked at Tang Zheng with a silly smile and said, "You also want to see me make a fool of myself, right? I won't let you get your way. "
Then, she hit Tang Zheng with her palm.
Tang Zheng easily dodged and grabbed her head with his five fingers. He used the Soul Search Technique.
Suddenly, scenes appeared in his mind like a movie. His eyes lit up. This was the information he had been dreaming of.
Suddenly, these images came to an abrupt end, as if someone had pulled out the power source. No matter how he channeled his power, it was to no avail. It was empty.
"This … How could this be?" Tang Zheng stared at her in disbelief.
The Soul Search Technique had never failed. But this time, it didn't work. Even if he was very smart, he couldn't figure out the reason.
"What's wrong?" The others saw Tang Zheng's reaction and quickly asked.
Tang Zheng shook his head and said dejectedly, "The Soul Search Technique didn't work. I only got a little bit of information."
"How could this be?" Everyone knew the power of the Soul Search Technique. They had the same question as Tang Zheng.
Heaven Monk thought for a moment, then said: "The Soul Searching Technique is a spell of the Demon Clan, in fact, it is not that powerful in the Demon Clan. Back then, she had a close relationship with the Demon Clan, could it be that she knew the method to break it, so she instinctively resisted it?"
"Is that possible?" Tang Zheng asked the Empyrean Fairy.
The Empyrean Fairy thought for a moment and nodded, "It's not impossible."
