"Yes! We will follow the Grand Deacon's orders! " The six generals answered in unison. Their gazes towards Yang Qing were now filled with respect. This time, they were truly willing to follow Yang Qing's orders.
To be honest, the six of them didn't know much about Yang Qing. When Yang Qing went to Purgatory, the six of them were also brought out by Miao Yi to manage external affairs. They didn't have much contact with Yang Qing. They only knew a lot of things from communicating with the people in Purgatory. They only heard that Yang Qing had unified the Six Paths and was quite capable. Today, they had seen it with their own eyes.
If Yang Qing hadn't seen through the clues, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Just thinking about it made them break out in cold sweat.
Many things were like this. It might seem simple when explained, but not everyone would be able to see through it before it was explained. The difference between the two seemed small, but in reality, it represented a huge difference in the minds of people. At the very least, the six of them didn't see through the clues earlier and almost made a mistake.
Dan Qing glanced at the slightly dazed Wei Shu and couldn't help but ask, "What did the Grand Deacon do to make him so obedient?"
Yang Qing naturally knew that Yan Xiu's current methods couldn't be exposed. He simply said, "Just a little aphrodisiac."
The others looked at each other. Dan Qing asked curiously, "What aphrodisiac can bewitch a cultivator who has tempered his three souls and seven spirits? Can the Grand Deacon give me some?"
Yang Qing looked at her coldly and asked, "Do you really want it?"
"Uh …" Dan Qing could hear the hostility in his tone and immediately realized that some things were better left unsaid. Otherwise, it would only bring trouble to herself. She chuckled and waved her hand. "I was just joking. Don't take it to heart, Grand Deacon." She then turned to Yan Xiu and pointed at Wei Shu. "Brother, quickly take care of him so we can continue our journey."
Yang Qing said, "There's no rush. We still have to wait for someone!"
Dan Qing shifted her gaze and asked, "Who are we waiting for?"
Yang Qing stared at the astrolabe and said, "It's easier said than done to capture Xiahou alive. No matter how secluded he is, there must be someone around him. If we act rashly, even if we manage to capture him, we will alert the elders. If that happens, then all our efforts will be in vain. We need to borrow someone from the Sage King!"
As for who he wanted to borrow, he didn't say. Instead, he took out the Star Bell and contacted Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was pacing back and forth restlessly in the pavilions of the Prince's Manor. When he found out that it was Yang Qing who sent him a message, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest. He immediately took out the Star Bell and asked, 'What's wrong?
He was really worried that something might go wrong.
Only then did he realize that his previous decision had been too rash. If it had been him, he would have immediately fallen into that sly old fox Xiahou's trap. Just imagine letting Yan Xiu use his transcendence art to dig out the information from Wei Shu. How could he possibly suspect that it was fake? If Wei Shu had said that there were no traps along the way, he would have definitely believed him. He would have definitely brought his men along, and the consequences would have been unthinkable!
"That old fox is too cunning. He actually set up such a trap …" Miao Yi couldn't help cursing under his breath as he thought about it.
He couldn't help but admire Xiahou Ta's methods. Not only was he able to gain Wei Shu's trust and make him work for him, he was also able to protect himself. Even if Wei Shu had fallen into someone else's hands, Wei Shu would never have opened his mouth to divulge the secret due to his staunch loyalty. Even if he had opened his mouth, no one would have allowed Wei Shu to leave on his own. Wei Shu would definitely be escorted there, and this move would definitely be exposed. And even if Wei Shu had fallen into the demon monk Nan Bo's hands, even Wei Shu himself wouldn't know that there was a trap. How could the demon monk not believe the information that he had dug out using his transcendence art? As long as he went, he would definitely be exposed. When that time came, who knew what kind of trap Xiahou Ta would set for the demon monk Nan Bo. The demon monk would definitely fall into Xiahou Ta's trap again.
Miao Yi even suspected that once Xiahou Ta found out about the demon monk's movements, he would set up a trap and activate it, making the demon monk fall into it himself.
In short, this plan was practically perfect. No matter who controlled Wei Shu, as long as he dared to go find Xiahou Ta, he would basically be discovered by Xiahou Ta. This old fox was truly terrifying. At least in his opinion, this kind of person was much more terrifying than the demon monk Nan Bo!
Fortunately, Yang Qing wasn't someone to be trifled with. He was actually able to see through the clues. Miao Yi was also glad that he had sent Yang Qing. Otherwise, it would really be over for him.
Seeing how Xiahou Ta was actually so far-sighted, being able to set up this trap when he faked his death all those years ago to prevent future troubles, Miao Yi couldn't help but ask worriedly, 'Are you confident that you can capture this old thief alive?'
Yang Qing: 'I can only say that Your Highness is lucky. If it weren't for Yan Xiu's transcendence art, Xiahou Ta's trap would have been perfect. It would basically be impossible to capture Xiahou Ta alive and eradicate the Council of Elders. With Yan Xiu's transcendence art, there is a chance. However, I still need to borrow someone from Your Highness to have a higher chance of success.'
Miao Yi: 'Borrow from who?'
Yang Qing: 'The Thousand-faced Fox!' There would definitely be people around Xiahou Ta. It would be easy to directly lock onto Xiahou Ta and forcefully capture him, but once there was a commotion, the Council of Elders would definitely be alerted. That place was so big, with so many people. It would be impossible to filter out the eyes and ears around Xiahou Ta in a short period of time. Therefore, if I want to capture Xiahou Ta alive, I will have to come into direct contact with him and use a trick. Otherwise, even if I find him, it would be difficult to make a move. Other than the Thousand-faced Fox, I will also need Your Highness to find a mystical poison to help me control Xiahou Ta without poisoning him to death. '
Miao Yi: 'The Thousand-faced Fox is still in Purgatory. You want the Thousand-faced Fox to transform into Wei Shu?'
Yang Qing: 'That's right!'
Miao Yi: 'If that's the only reason, then there's no need to go to Purgatory to find the Thousand-faced Fox. With this demon's background, I'm afraid even Xiahou Ta would tremble in fear. It would be easy for her to be exposed … You don't have to worry about this. I will send you another suitable candidate. As for the mystical poison you want, where am I going to find a suitable one for you in such a short period of time? I do have something here, the Fallen Immortal refined by Traversing Moon Palace. However, this thing has a flaw. It takes a long time for it to take effect. Can it be used? '
Yang Qing: 'If the poison takes a long time to take effect, the person dealing with it might not be able to withstand Xiahou Ta's questioning and be exposed. Xiahou Ta is too familiar with Wei Shu. It's not safe! If I can't find a suitable substitute in a short period of time, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Your Highness for something to complement it. '
Miao Yi: 'What?'
Yang Qing: 'Blood Lotus!'
Miao Yi was silent for a while. In the end, he said decisively, 'Fine! I will send someone to deliver it to you immediately. '
As long as he could achieve his goal this time, he didn't mind sacrificing this Blood Lotus.
After ending the call, Miao Yi used the Starbell to contact someone for a while. After putting away the Starbell, he rummaged through his storage bangle and finally found two porcelain bottles, one black and one white. The black one was the poison, while the white one was the antidote. It was none other than the Fallen Immortal. This was something Xu Tangran had obtained all those years ago. He had secretly poisoned a large group of people at the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Tavern. He didn't expect it to be useful this time.
After that, he took out a storage ring and checked the Blood Lotus inside. The Fallen Immortal was stored inside as well. He turned around and handed it to Yang Zhaoqing, saying, "It's not good to leave this item in someone else's hands. Yang Qing is waiting for you along the way. You have to make a trip personally. You must deliver it to him.
Nothing must go wrong! "Miao Yi knew he couldn't blame Yang Qing for this. He was the one who hid it from Yang Qing. Yang Qing was only given the task at the last minute and wasn't prepared at all. Now that he had discovered the problem, he naturally had to solve it.
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing received the items and quickly left.
Miao Yi was left alone in the pavilion. He patted the railing and gazed into the distance, sighing softly. He hoped that Yang Qing's cautious nature of repeatedly deducing suspicious points would allow him to successfully achieve his goal this time. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.
Meanwhile, inside Fei Hong's chamber, Yun Zhiqiu was smiling as she faced the crowd, but she was actually feeling uneasy. Miao Yi had truly gone too far this time. His target was Xiahou Ta! Even the demonic monk Nan Bo and the Divine Master of the Six Paths had fallen at his hands. Lord White and the Demon Lord's predicament was definitely related to him as well. He was someone who controlled the various Dynasties from behind the scenes. Even the forces of the Green Lord and the Buddhist Lord wouldn't dare to act recklessly against him. How could Yun Zhiqiu not worry about going up against such a person …
In less than half a day, Yang Zhaoqing had successfully caught up to Yang Qing. Fortunately, Yang Qing had stopped in time. After handing over the items and contacting Miao Yi, Yang Zhaoqing quickly returned.
Meanwhile, Yang Qing wasn't in a hurry to make a move either. The person Miao Yi had assigned to him hadn't arrived yet.
Four hours after Yang Zhaoqing left, an old woman finally arrived. She landed on a barren planet and met with Charcoal.
After Shuang Shuang confirmed her identity through Miao Yi, Charcoal put the old woman away and continued on his way after receiving Yang Qing's notice.
Naturally, this old woman could only be White Phoenix.
As soon as White Phoenix entered the storage space, the dissatisfaction on her face immediately froze. When she saw the Great Generals of the Six Paths, she blankly said, "Leng Zhuoqun, Gui Wu, Chang Hong, Ao Tie, Dan Qing, Meng Ru. Why are you all here?" She still didn't know why Miao Yi had asked her to come.
The few of them were still curiously sizing up who this old woman was. The Holy King had actually allowed such a stranger to meet with them. Suddenly, they saw her call out everyone's name at a glance. The six generals also looked at each other, their eyes seemingly asking, do you know her?
Dan Qing scratched her head and asked suspiciously, "Old woman, who are you?"
White Phoenix didn't seem to hear her. She stared at Wei Shu in a daze. When she realized that Wei Shu was being controlled by these people, she cried out, "Wei Shu? You dare to capture him? What are you trying to do? "She was a little flustered. She realized that they were up to no good this time.
Yang Qing was also a little curious about this old woman. However, Miao Yi didn't reveal her identity, so he didn't try to pry. However, Miao Yi did say that he could order her around and that there was no need to be polite.
Yang Qing pointed at Wei Shu and said, "Try transforming into his appearance first."
"Why should I?" White Phoenix retorted. However, in the end, her figure quickly squirmed and transformed. In the blink of an eye, she looked exactly like Wei Shu.
Yang Qing circled around her and compared her to Wei Shu for a while, then nodded slightly.
"You …" Dan Qing suddenly clapped her hands. She seemed to have remembered something. Pointing at White Phoenix, she exclaimed, "You're the Demon Lord's personal handmaiden, White Phoenix?"
The other five also came to a realization. Someone who had this kind of transcendence power and could recognize them at a glance was probably that demon.
Yang Qing looked at White Phoenix thoughtfully. No wonder Miao Yi said this person was more suitable. Just based on how she could ignore the Great Generals of the Six Paths, she was indeed more composed than the Thousand-faced Fox Demon when she faced Xiahou Ta.
"A bunch of blind people." White Phoenix scoffed. She patted the star compass at Yang Qing and said angrily, "If you have something to say, spit it out. What do you want me to do?"
Yang Qing smiled and said, "I want you to meet Xiahou Ta."
"Xiahou Ta?" White Phoenix was stunned. "Are you messing with me? Isn't that old fox already dead? "
"He's not dead. He's just faking his death …" Yang Qing immediately explained the situation. He couldn't hide it from her anyway. He needed her to carry out the mission, so he had to let her know the situation first before she could deal with it.
