Yan Ruijiang's eyes narrowed. He couldn't help but recognize that this was the secret letter he had sent out earlier.
But how did this letter end up in Liang Yi's hands?
This secret letter wasn't sent directly to a certain person's hands. Instead, it was left in a secret location. It would only be picked up by an unrelated person after five days, and only two days had passed since then.
Moreover, there was a restriction placed on this letter. If it was taken by someone who didn't know the key, it would self-destruct, leaving no trace behind.
Could it be that Xuan Zun had made a move?
But on second thought, it couldn't be so. Not to mention that this letter didn't reveal too much, even before it was sent out, there was no direct evidence to prove that there was something wrong with him.
Seeing that he was silent, Liang Yi said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, why don't you open it and take a look to see if this is the letter you sent out?"
Yan Ruijiang glanced at him, then reached out to pick it up. When he opened it, his heart sank slightly.
That's right, this was the letter he had sent out earlier. Moreover, the restriction on it hadn't been touched at all. But since Liang Yi had come to find him, he didn't believe that the other party hadn't seen it. He must have used some method that he didn't know about.
He couldn't help but think that he hadn't exposed his identity yet. He had only asked someone to provoke him. This wasn't a big mistake, and he could find a suitable excuse to cover it up …
Liang Yi said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Yan, what is your purpose for doing this? Please explain."
Yan Ruijiang quickly thought of a way to deal with this. As long as he insisted that he didn't agree with Daoist Wan Ming's opinion and did this, then the other party wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
He pretended to be angry and said, "Did I say something wrong? Even if Xuan Zun is Xuan Zun, what he says isn't completely right!
Perhaps Liang Daoyou thought that I was trying to sow discord, but I want people to know that there is no real harmony between Zhen Xuan and Zhen Xuan. Don't trust others so easily, and have your own judgment. Whether or not you can read that book, you still have to read it to know. Isn't that right? "
Liang Yi said slowly, "So that's how it is. This letter is full of provocative words. It seems that Fellow Daoist Yan did not have good intentions when he gave me this Daoist book."
Yan Ruijiang was shocked. "You haven't read this letter?" As he spoke, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. He lowered his head and saw that the letter in his hand had melted into nothingness. Not only this place, but even the surrounding scenery was peeling away layer by layer.
Only then did he realize that he had been standing outside the stage from the beginning to the end. He had not turned back at all. He could not help but look not far away. He saw a Daoist standing there in the air. His pupils constricted. "Shi Yanxin..."
Everything that happened just now was undoubtedly an illusion.
He sighed. "I was too careless."
It could be imagined that the other party did not receive the letter at all, nor did he see its contents. At most, he only knew that he had sent the letter. The contents of the letter were also reflected in his mind due to his own preconceived notions, or his own guilty conscience.
However, Shi Yanxin's method of turning the false into the real was truly brilliant. Now that he thought about it, he still could not figure out when he had fallen into the trap. He thought that even if he had been vigilant just now, he could not guarantee that he would not have fallen into the trap.
At this moment, Liang Yi took out a Yi Luo Xuanfu talisman and showed it to him. Then he said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, we suspect the purpose of you passing that Daoist book. Please follow us back to Xuanfu. There are some things that we need you to explain clearly."
How could Yan Ruijiang go back with him? Although this letter couldn't convict him of any crime, his identity as a spy was real. What if he accidentally spilled the beans that he shouldn't have? Wouldn't he be walking right into a trap?
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, the two of you. I won't go back with you."
Liang Yi said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Yan, if you are unwilling, then we will have to use force."
Yan Ruijiang chuckled and glanced at Shi Yanxin in the distance. He said, "With Fellow Daoist Shi and Liang Daoyou's abilities, if it was a fair fight, I really would not be a match for you. However, Liang Daoyou, do you really think that I am not prepared?"
He raised his head and suddenly a bright golden light bloomed from his body. Then, a bright light shot into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liang Yi watched him leave and frowned. Just now, it was not that he and Shi Yanxin did not do anything. Instead, they used the light of their hearts to envelop the surroundings. However, when this person rushed into the sky, they were unable to stop him at all. Moreover, the speed of his escape was faster than anyone he had ever seen before.
At this very moment, on a floating island in the sky in the Yi Kong Continent, Yan Ruijiang suddenly woke up from his deep meditation. He calculated and realized that it was the doppelganger that he had placed in the Yi Luo Continent that had transformed.
His visualization diagram was called "Straight Substitution". It did not have any offensive or defensive power, but it could transform into different appearances and different identities. Moreover, it was no different from a real person.
Yan Ruijiang's identity was painstakingly created by him. However, at the same time, he also had a few other identities. It seemed that the two Daoists that Liang Yi saw that day were actually his doppelganger.
And these two people's identities were used to confuse people. Previously, he had revealed himself so that if he was exposed, people could follow this clue to investigate. In the end, the more they investigated, the more they would deviate.
And once the doppelganger was destroyed, he also knew the whole story. He thought to himself, "I have to be more careful when I come down. I'll lay low for a period of time and wait for the limelight to pass before I reveal myself again."
After Yan Ruijiang left, Liang Yi and the others and Shi Yanxin went to check the big platform where he lived. However, they found that it was very clean and didn't seem to have left any useful clues. Moreover, Yan Ruijiang didn't need anyone to order him around. He didn't even have a disciple, so there was no one to ask.
Shi Yanxin said, "Do we go back and report to Head Xuan?"
Liang Yi said, "We have to report it. However, Head Xuan will not make a move. Most likely, he wants us to investigate."
Shi Yanxin said, "We are not good at this."
Liang Yi said in a deep voice, "We are not good at it, but someone else is."
Shi Yanxin thought about it and nodded.
Liang Yi said, "This matter should not be delayed. Fellow Daoist, please come with me to that place and be a witness."
Shi Yanxin said, "Okay."
Liang Yi left a warning talisman here and then flew into the sky with Shi Yanxin. Not long after, they arrived outside the Shouzheng Palace's encampment in the Ilo Upper Continent.
The two of them landed. The disciple on duty in front of the encampment came up and cupped his hands, "So it is Senior Liang and Senior Shi. Have the two of you come here for something?"
Liang Yi asked, "Is Head Xu here?"
The disciple said, "Head Xu is in the encampment. This junior will go and inform the two seniors." He went in to report. After a while, he came out and said, "Seniors, Head Xu invites you."
Liang Yi and Shi Yanxin followed him in. When they reached the main hall of the encampment, they saw that Xu Chengtong was already waiting for them. The two of them came up to greet him.
After sitting down, Liang Yi directly stated the purpose of their visit.
Xu Chengtong thought for a moment and said, "I'll have to trouble the two of you to tell this Xu about this matter in detail."
This was expected. Liang Yi explained the specific situation and said in a deep voice, "We suspect that this person is likely to be the eyes and ears of the cultivators in the outer layer."
Xu Chengtong didn't comment on this.
On the other hand, the disciples behind him showed confident expressions. So it was to find a spy. This is good, we are all familiar with this. After following Master, what kind of tricks have we not seen before?
Xu Chengtong said, "I need to go to this person's residence to take a look."
Liang Yi said, "Liang Yi will lead the way."
Xu Chengtong didn't delay and immediately ordered someone to prepare a flying boat. At the same time, he picked a newly accepted disciple to go with him.
When the flying boat was ready, the group took off and returned to the encampment not long after.
Xu Chengtong first walked around outside and then walked in with the disciple. Liang Yi and Shi Yanxin were waiting outside.
Entering the big platform, Xu Chengtong glanced at it a few times and said, "This person should be good at cloning."
The disciple remembered the instructions of the several senior brothers and tactfully asked, "Master, why is that?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Ordinary people will try to leave a way out or set up a forbidden array when building an Immortal's Cave residence, but this person didn't do this. However, there is only one way out. If someone blocked it, they wouldn't go out. Even if they are confident, they will not not take any precautions. This must be because they don't care about this at all. Just now, Liang Daoyou and the others were not sure whether this person used a superior escape technique or a clone, but it can be inferred that it is undoubtedly a clone. "
The disciple suddenly understood.
Xu Chengtong continued, "In order to cover up, this person deliberately built the platform in the most common form. However, this person left in a hurry and left behind some things that he took with him. Look at these objects and the decorations here. It's clearly the layout of the Upper Continent in the Nether Plain."
When the disciple heard this, he couldn't help admiring his master. He said excitedly, "Master, can we find this person with these?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Of course not with these, and we can't rule out that this person deliberately used to confuse the ears and eyes. Even if we follow these clues one by one, I am afraid it will take a long time, but I am afraid this person will take this opportunity to stir up trouble."
The disciple had an idea and said, "Previously, Senior Liang said that he met two Taoists, maybe we can find out from these two people?"
Xu Chengtong sneered and said, "These two people were so coincidentally seen by Liang Daoyou, but I suspect that this is deliberately used to mislead me."
The disciple thought about it and only felt that this matter was quite difficult to solve. He respectfully asked, "Master, then what should we do?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Things are not so complicated. You need to remember that we are the station of Shouzheng Palace, and we are working for Shouzheng. Since this person left a message in the Heavenly Taming Dao Chapter, this person must have left a talisman seal in the Heavenly Taming Dao Chapter. Let's ask the Guardian of the Heavenly Taming Dao Chapter where the person who left the talisman is.
Each person can only use one seal of Xuntian Dao Zhang, no matter if you are an incarnation or a doppelganger, as long as you are in the inner layer and do not have the power of the upper layer to protect you, then you can be found easily.
The disciple was stunned, he didn't expect that the matter could be solved like this. Then he bowed and sincerely said, "Master, this disciple is convinced."
Xu Chengtong immediately left this place with the disciple and turned back to the station of Shouzheng Palace. Then he went back to the altar and respectfully bowed to the memorial tablet, then he wrote a letter and handed it over.
