It was actually Li Zhengde's voice.
Did he find the person? Zhang Zhong Yang?
Yang Xuan was slightly taken aback.
When he left that day, he had asked Li Zhengde to pay attention to Zhang Zhong Yang's whereabouts. Originally, it was just a casual remark, and he didn't really expect Li Zhengde to find Zhang Zhong Yang.
However, he didn't think that Li Zhengde would actually succeed, and there would be news back so quickly.
"Where is he?" Yang Xuan replied in his mind.
After receiving Yang Xuan's reply, Li Zhengde suppressed his joy and said, "He's on the Red Python Star."
On the Red Python Star?
Yang Xuan was slightly taken aback. Was there such a coincidence?
"I'll be there soon!" He replied, and then cut off the connection.
When Yang Xuan arrived at the Li Clan on the Red Python Star with the black coffin, Li Zhengde had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Yang Xuan arrive, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Greetings, Master."
Yang Xuan waved his hand and asked directly, "Where is he?"
Li Zhengde didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said, "There's a Meteor Trail City south of the Red Python Star. Lord Zhang Zhong Yang is in Meteor Trail City, but …"
At this point, a strange expression appeared on Li Zhengde's face.
"But what?" Yang Xuan asked.
"But Lord Zhang Zhong Yang is a little strange, as if …" Li Zhengde paused, as if he was organizing his words, and then continued, "as if … um … as if he's changed into a different person. In short, it's very strange. I was afraid of alerting him, so I didn't dare to send people to get close."
Changed into a different person? Yang Xuan was a little puzzled.
How did he change into a different person?
He thought for a moment and said, "Take me to see him."
The two of them set off together, and they didn't bring any attendants. Li Zhengde led the way, and Yang Xuan directly flew toward Meteor Trail City.
After a while, Meteor Trail City was already in sight. It was currently evening, and specks of starlight rose from the city. It was very beautiful, and Meteor Trail City probably got its name from this.
Li Zhengde brought Yang Xuan to a village near the city, and said, "Master, he's inside."
Yang Xuan's Spiritual Force had already spread out and found the target.
Zhang Zhong Yang, who was dressed in coarse clothes, did not look like he was in charge of the world at all. He looked old and senile, his body bent, and his steps were shaky. He looked like a piece of rotten wood.
In fact, Zhang Zhong Yang was probably about to die, because there was not a single bit of energy left in his body.
"How did you find him here?" Yang Xuan's eyes flashed as he asked.
Li Zhengde hurriedly said, "It's also a coincidence. I have a lot of businesses in Starfire City. Lord Zhang once went to one of my businesses to buy food, and was recognized by a spy and reported to me."
Yang Xuan nodded and said, "You did well. You can go back first."
Li Zhengde was extremely happy to receive Yang Xuan's praise. He bowed and left.
Zhang Zhong Yang's courtyard was very ordinary. The dilapidated door was filled with the vicissitudes of time, and it looked like it had been there for quite some time.
Yang Xuan walked forward and gently knocked on the iron ring on the door. The old wooden door made a knocking sound.
Someone in the courtyard replied, "Who is it?"
"An old friend!" Yang Xuan replied.
Footsteps sounded, and a moment later, the wooden door opened. The wrinkled Zhang Zhong Yang revealed half of his face.
When he saw that the person standing at the door was Yang Xuan, Zhang Zhong Yang was stunned at first, then his face turned into a bitter smile.
"It really is an old friend!" He smiled bitterly, then opened the door. "Tianxuan The Great has graced my humble abode with your presence. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you."
Yang Xuan did not stand on ceremony. He followed him into the courtyard and into the dilapidated house before sitting down.
Zhang Zhong Yang poured him a bowl of water and asked, "How did the Great Emperor know that I was here?"
Yang Xuan did not answer his question. He picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Why?"
Zhang Zhong Yang sighed, his expression bleak. "I'm already a cripple. I'm just struggling at death's door."
Yang Xuan looked at him. After a while, he asked, "Who did it?"
Zhang Zhong Yang sighed and changed the topic. "How much does the Great Emperor know about the events of ten thousand years ago?"
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know much."
Zhang Zhong Yang took a deep breath and began to narrate.
What he said was basically the same as what Fang Rongxuan had said. There was not much difference, but Yang Xuan still patiently listened to him again.
After he finished narrating, Zhang Zhong Yang looked at Yang Xuan and said, "Tianxuan The Great must be very curious as to why this old man's cultivation of the Three Emperors has disappeared without a trace. Why did this old man come here and live the life of an old farmer?"
Yang Xuan nodded. He was indeed very curious about this point.
Zhang Zhong Yang sighed again. "As the saying goes, good and evil will be repaid. This is my retribution. I can't blame anyone else. Ten thousand years ago, this old man and Fang Rongxuan schemed to harm Great Emperor Qingyao. At that time, this old man knew that this day would come. I just didn't expect it to drag on for so long."
Yang Xuan heard something strange from his words, but he did not ask. He just waited quietly.
Zhang Zhong Yang smiled bitterly, "Great Emperor, can you guess who crippled my cultivation?"
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Who?"
Zhang Zhong Yang smiled bitterly. "In ten thousand years, there were only two people who had enemies with me. One was Great Emperor Qingyao, and the other was Great Emperor Yuanxi. The answer is obvious."
Yang Xuan's eyes flashed. He said word by word, "You're saying that Chen Yuanxi crippled your cultivation and threw you here?"
Zhang Zhong Yang nodded slowly. "That's right, it was Chen Yuanxi."
Yang Xuan was silent. After a while, he said slowly, "You're saying that Chen Yuanxi is not dead?"
Zhang Zhongyang nodded. "That day, after the Great Emperor left, Chen Yuanxi appeared and crippled my cultivation. He then threw me on the Red Python Star, leaving me to fend for myself. Only then did I realize that Chen Yuanxi was actually still alive."
Yang Xuan was suspicious. He asked, "If Chen Yuanxi is not dead and knows the cause and effect, why didn't he kill you directly?"
"Probably because he wanted me to experience despair." Zhang Zhong Yang's expression was lonely as he muttered.
Yang Xuan was even more confused. He asked, "You have the power of three Great Emperors. Chen Yuanxi only has the power of one Great Emperor. How could he cripple your cultivation?"
Zhang Zhong Yang smiled bitterly. "So what if I have the power of three Great Emperors? What is it in front of a Saint? "
Yang Xuan was shocked. "You're saying that Chen Yuanxi has already become a Saint?"
Zhang Zhong Yang nodded. "Yes. Chen Yuanxi hid for ten thousand years and fooled everyone. He finally became a Saint. Just his ability to hide is worth learning."
Yang Xuan's eyes flashed. After a while, he said, "But why?"
"I didn't understand before. But recently, I figured it out. Chen Yuanxi hid for ten thousand years and hid it from two people."
"Which two people?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Naturally, it's the Lord of the Imperial Court and the Evil God." Zhang Zhong Yang said.
Yang Xuan immediately understood.
If Chen Yuanxi didn't hide for ten thousand years, he would've been killed by the Evil God's messenger before he became a Saint. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to become a Saint.
"So, Chen Yuanxi always knew that you were the ones who ambushed Great Emperor Qingyao and framed him?" Yang Xuan asked.
"En!" Zhang Zhong Yang nodded and sighed, "He always knew. He knew from the start."
"That's not right!" Yang Xuan stared at Zhang Zhong Yang and said coldly, "If Chen Yuanxi knew that it was you, why did he only target you? Why is Fang Rongxuan still in the Imperial Court?"
Zhang Zhong Yang was stunned. He turned and looked at Yang Xuan. His eyes opened wide in shock. "When did Great Emperor see Fang Rongxuan?"
"Not long ago." Yang Xuan said.
Zhang Zhong Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He took out a square box from the cabinet behind him.
"Great Emperor, Fang Rongxuan would've turned into ashes if he were here."
Pa!
Yang Xuan slapped the table and abruptly stood up, a cold glint in his eyes.
