"One is missing. It's Miao 'er. She's gone!" Qin Feng sensed the situation and alerted the demons. Hearing this, all the demons' expressions changed.
"Could it be her?"
The demons couldn't believe it. But Miao 'er's identity was obvious.
The one who looked the most harmless and the least suspicious was Gu Xuanzheng's host body? When did she sneak into the mountain village? How did she hide from the demons?
In an instant, thousands of questions surged in their minds. But the most important question was —
Where was she?
Now that midnight was approaching, if they did not find her in a few short moments, when the bell rang at midnight, the demons of the villa who had lost all their memories would become fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered by Gu Xuanke.
But before they could ask this question, Childe Ling calmly sat down and said unhurriedly, "All the guards of the villa have been transferred here. If she still doesn't leave, I will have to admire her for being able to keep her composure."
"You let her leave on purpose?" Qin Feng reacted immediately. His face darkened and he asked, "Do you know where she is now?"
Gongzi Ling pinched his fingers and said slowly, "Looking at the time, he should be with your Young Master now!"
Hearing this, the three beauties' expressions changed. Han Fu was confused, "Master? What do you mean? "
Master Ling was sitting in front of them. Then who was' your master '?
"This … you're probably the only one here who doesn't know. Allow me to reintroduce myself …" Young Master Ling turned his head slightly and wiped his face with his hand. When he turned his head again, his face had changed. "I'm Ying Feiyang. Sister Han Fu, we meet again!"
"Why are you here?" In the blink of an eye, Gongzi Ling had transformed into another person. His face was handsome and his spirit was extraordinary. There was a scar running down his eyebrow. It was Ying Feiyang whom Gongzi Ling had killed earlier. Han Fu was stunned.
The three beauties, Feng Yasong and Song, were not surprised. Qin Feng didn't care about the change in his expression and asked coldly, "This is not part of the plan. What are you doing?"
Qin Feng was initially misled by Ying Feiyang's words and believed that Zhao Ya was Gu Xuan's body. That was why he cooperated with him. In order to deal with Zhao Ya, he even accepted his suggestion and gathered the guards of the villa here. But now, it seemed like he knew that Zhao Ya wasn't Gu Xuanling, and everything he did was actually to create time and opportunity for Gu Xuanling's true host body to leave.
"Doing the same thing as Lord Zhao." Ying Feiyang ignored Qin Feng's anger and leisurely twirled the mask on his finger. At the same time, he looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Commander Zhao, you don't seem to be surprised to see my true appearance. That's right, I knew too little about Young Master Peacock. This clumsy disguise couldn't fool Sister Qin Feng. Naturally, it couldn't fool Lord Zhao who had followed Young Master Peacock the longest. Sister Qin Feng, instead of asking me what I'm doing, why don't you ask Lord Zhao why he still wants to waste time with me when he already knows that I'm not Gongzi Ling? "
"I hate guessing!" Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, and the vines beneath his feet began to move.
Zhao Ya said, "Qin Feng, letting Gu Xuanling go won't do him any good. Let him finish." At this moment, Zhao Ya was already a captive, but she still calmly gave out orders. Qin Feng, who was still holding her captive half an hour ago, still had a gloomy face, but Teng Man, who was showing her anger, was temporarily suppressed. It was obvious that he had listened to Zhao Ya's advice.
"Calm and steady, calm and magnanimous. No wonder people often say that Lord Zhao is half the heroine of Jinping Villa," Ying Feiyang praised, but the praise was a little harsh.
Zhao Ya ignored his words and only asked, "How's Young Master's condition now?"
Ying Feiyang said, "He forcefully absorbed too many venomous insects into his body. When he fought with me three days ago, he still had to suppress his power and divert his attention to deal with the venomous insects. Now that two days have passed, his condition will only worsen."
Three days ago, when Ying Feiyang fought with Gongzi Ling, Gongzi Ling suddenly suppressed his power in the middle of the battle. At first, Ying Feiyang thought that Gongzi Ling was arrogant and disdained to use his full power against a junior. Later, he realized that Gongzi Ling wanted to suppress the agitated venomous insects in his body. After that, with Gongzi Ling's tough character, he would choose to go into seclusion at the crucial moment and let someone else deal with Gu Xuanling. Although he didn't say it out loud, Ying Feiyang also knew that Gongzi Ling's mental state was much worse than what he showed on the surface.
If he could think of this, Zhao Ya, who understood Gongzi Ling the most, would naturally think of this as well. Zhao Ya's eyes turned cold, "Since you know this, why did you still use him as bait?"
Ying Feiyang also raised his eyebrows and said tit for tat, "So, you admit that you used me as bait?"
"Sister Ya, you wanted to use him to attract Gu Xuanling and let him fall into your trap by mistake!" Qin Feng was also a demon with a clear mind. He didn't think too deeply in his anger just now, but now that he heard the two of them arguing, he suddenly understood.
What was Gu Xuanling's purpose in going through so much trouble? The most likely intention was to use the Parasite Insect to steal Gongzi Ling's body. In this way, not only would he get the strongest Parasite Insect slave, but he would also refine the arrogant Gongzi Ling into a servant who would lose his autonomy. This would be the best revenge for him.
However, Gongzi Ling's cultivation was extremely high, and the Peacock King Ming Mantra that he practiced was derived from the Tantric Buddhism Sect's ancient technique that emphasized on mental strength. His mind and willpower were extremely firm. If Gu Xuanling wanted to use the Parasite Insect to control him, he must first get rid of his own willpower. Only when the bell rang tonight would the Parasite Insect in Gongzi Ling's body be activated completely and devour all of his memories. That would be the best time for Gu Xuanling to make his move.
However, if Gu Xuanling took the wrong body and was attracted by the fake Gongzi Ying Feiyang played, and didn't use the real Gongzi Ling's body, the ending would be different.
At least Gongzi Ling would be safe for the time being. As for what would happen to Ying Feiyang in the end, it was not a problem that Zhao Ya would care about.
Qin Feng recalled Zhao Ya's previous actions and felt that her deduction was correct. After Ying Feiyang fought with her this morning, he pretended to leave angrily. After that, the rumor that Goddess Ling Xin was Gu Xuanling's host body spread. The speed of the spread was so fast that someone must have added fuel to the fire.
In reality, Zhao Ya wanted to prevent Ying Feiyang from really leaving. She purposely used Goddess Ling Xin's safety as a threat to force Ying Feiyang to come out and be the bait. However, Ying Feiyang was more skillful and forced Zhao Ya to reveal herself.
"That's right, so no matter how I, Lord Zhao, disguise myself as Gongzi Ling, is full of flaws, she will turn a blind eye to it. She will even try her best to stop me from exposing my identity," Ying Feiyang said.
Zhao Ya didn't look ashamed and didn't try to defend herself. She only said, "It's better for you to be controlled than Gongzi being controlled. If Gu Xuanling takes over Gongzi's body, you and Jinping Villa won't be the only ones who will die. What backup plan do you have to dare to use Gongzi as bait?"
Ying Feiyang smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you notice? The most important character that Gu Xuanling fears the most is still absent. Guess, where is she now?"
- = - =
In the underground tomb, in order to find out Gongzi Ling's situation, Miao Er let out a cold laugh and countless Gu insects came out. They swarmed towards Gongzi Ling from all directions.
Gongzi Ling was in the center of the insect tide and didn't move an inch. He was like a lone reef on the sea when the tide was rising and he was about to be swallowed by the colorful insect tide.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed and a glittering ice sword was stabbed in front of Gongzi Ling. The temperature dropped and a bone-chilling cold wave spread in all directions.
The Gu insects in front of him instantly froze and turned into powder. A graceful figure passed through the colorful insect tide and stood in front of Gongzi Ling.
Gongzi Ling, who didn't care about the insect tide, opened his eyes and scolded softly, "Didn't I tell you to leave?"
The person smiled and said, "You were always protecting me in the past. It's a rare opportunity for me to protect the arrogant Gongzi Peacock. How can I bear to leave?"
Saying so, she held the ice sword and waved it. The sword aura scattered and more Gu insects turned into ice crystals. The cold sword aura announced the person's identity. It was Xie Anping who had temporarily appeared in Xie Lingyan's body.
"I'm not so weak that I need your protection," Gongzi Ling said stubbornly.
"Alright, alright, I know you're amazing. Then, I'll accompany you for a while longer, okay? Although it's fake, it might be the last time we'll be together." Although Xie Anping was smiling, his words were filled with loneliness.
Gongzi Ling didn't say anything and didn't insist. Miao Er, however, laughed. "Hehehe, you really treat it as if there's no one else around. If not for Elder Ancestor's help, you wouldn't have the chance to be intimate with each other. But you actually brandished your sword at your creator. You're really biting the hand that feeds you!"
"Creator? This body, this memory, they don't belong to you. You just took it by force and mixed it up. How dare you call yourself a creator! My Jin Ping Mountain Manor doesn't welcome a thief like you! " As Xie Anping spoke, the sword in his hand didn't stop. Wherever the sword passed, there was an unbreakable ice fortress. Although the Gu insects were surging, they couldn't move an inch.
"Thief, we're the same. Do you want to protect Jin Ping Mountain Manor, or do you want to split the loot with me? " Miao Er sneered. "After midnight, you, who have completely evolved, can permanently occupy your niece's body. You can control Gongzi Ling and the memories of all the demons in Jin Ping Mountain Manor. You've died and will be forgotten. A new life is about to begin. Gongzi Ling is an extremely useful and obedient tool. Naturally, you won't be willing to give him to Elder Ancestor to use as a host! "
"You …" Xie Anping's sore spot was touched. Her sword technique was almost messed up. Luckily, the Gu insects' attacks had weakened, allowing her to stabilize her footing. She then said hatefully, "Hmph, you call yourself the Undying Gu Demon. Gu insects aren't as poisonous as your mouth. Have all the useful Gu insects been burned by us in Southern Border? How come they're just inferior goods! "
Annoyed, Xie Anping's sword dance became more rapid. Like a cold moon hanging in the sky, a snowstorm hit the ground. Wherever it passed, the wind blew the grass and all the insects were silent.
Actually, what she said was right. Miao Er was a suspect and was under surveillance. Naturally, she didn't dare to leave any Gu insects on her. When she escaped, she passed by the pharmacy and took some medicine.
Although there were many Gu insects, they were temporarily attracted and catalyzed by her medicine. It was enough to spy on the real situation, but it lacked all kinds of strange and unpredictable functions. Thus, she couldn't do anything to Xie Anping.
However, Miao Er was indifferent and said, "These Gu insects are indeed not worth mentioning. But do you think Elder Ancestor is chatting with you?"
Miao Er tilted her body slightly. Behind her, there were several insect balls. The insects were densely packed together and were actually eating each other. As her voice fell, the insect ball exploded. Three Golden-winged Moths, two Flying Centipedes, one Green Scaled Snake, and several Scarlet Stingers emerged from the insect group's cannibalism and attacked Gongzi Ling.

"You mean Xie … Anping? She's not Gu Xuanren's match! "Zhao Ya's expression changed as she questioned Ying Feiyang's arrangement.
Ying Feiyang said, "If Gu Xuanren came personally, it might be difficult to deal with him. But his current host's cultivation is low and the Gu insects he can use are limited. The sword techniques of Ling Xiao Sword School are more than enough to deal with him."
"You don't know enough about Gu Xuanren. As long as you give him some time, he can refine Gu insects that can restrain Xie Anping's sword techniques."
Ying Feiyang nodded slightly but looked straight ahead. "So, time is the key. After midnight, Gu Xuanren will definitely get rid of Senior Aunt Xie. But before midnight, he will be cautious. Senior Aunt Xie doesn't need to win. She just needs to stay undefeated and delay until we arrive."
Qin Feng was also worried. He was slightly relieved after hearing this. Then, he urged again, "Arrive? You want to attack Gu Xuanren from both sides? Then why aren't you moving? What are you waiting for? "
"Waiting for time!" Ying Feiyang was still not in a hurry. He sat upright on his seat and his gaze gradually sharpened. His gaze pierced through the demons and looked out of the courtyard. "Again, time is the key. It doesn't matter if it's early or late. If Gu Xuanren leaves too early, he will expose his identity and give us too much time to search for him. If he leaves too late, he might not be able to get out of the library and be killed by Sister Qin Feng along with the suspects in the library. Similarly, if we go too early, Gu Xuanren won't be able to defeat us. He knows that he won't be able to stall for more than midnight. When he leaves, there will be endless troubles in the villa. If we go too late and Gu Xuanren's plan succeeds, there will be no turning back. While Gu Xuanren is waiting for midnight, Senior Aunt Xie is waiting for us, and I am waiting for the best time to strike. "
"How much longer do we have to wait?" Qin Feng asked.
"Not long. Finally, now is the time!" As soon as Ying Feiyang finished speaking, his eyes lit up and he suddenly stood up.
Only then did Qin Feng understand what Ying Feiyang was looking at. She condensed her True Vitality in her eyes and turned her head to look in the direction of Ying Feiyang's gaze. Through the deep courtyard and layers of darkness. The Rainbow Dial of the villa was within sight.
This Rainbow Dial was made by Mo Fei Zong. It had both the shadow of the sun and the needle. At this time, there was no way to use the shadow of the sun at night. But according to the needle, there was only a quarter and a half to the ion hour!
