That was the reason, but the real reason why he didn't hand it over was that he had unlocked the secret of the Shang Jing and wanted to practice it.
There was no need to tell others this reason for the time being.
Zhao Xiongge snorted. Forget it, it was all in the past. Moreover, seeing that this guy was still trying to find a way out for the Shanghai Sect, he was too lazy to care about it.
But Niu Youdao was still puzzled. "You took the Shang Jing from Yu Cang, why did you get involved in this matter?"
Zhao Xiongge said, "I told you, I was entrusted by your master. In fact, the news of the appearance of the Shang Jing had already spread. I don't know how your master knew the specific whereabouts of the Shang Jing, but from what your master said, it seems that Shang Jianbo may know the method to crack the Shang Jing passed down by the ancestors of the Shang family. I don't know what was hidden in the Shang Jing that was worth the huge risk of the Shanghai Sect taking. But I know that the secret in the Shang Jing must be very important for your master to ask me for help. When I took it, I found that the owner was actually the Waning Moon Pavilion. "
"Before I took action, a group of mysterious people had already attacked the Waning Moon Pavilion. I intervened and injured Yu Cang. Under siege, Yu Cang threw out the Shang Jing in order to save his life. I snatched the Shang Jing and fled. The mysterious people immediately gave up chasing Yu Cang and the others and targeted me. "
"After I got rid of them with great difficulty, I rushed to the agreed meeting place. In the end, the three of them decided to hand the Shang Jing over to your master."
Niu Youdao interrupted, "Three people? Which three? "
Zhao Xiongge said, "Senior Brother Tang, your master, and me. Logically speaking, we didn't expose our identities at the time, but to be safe, the three of us decided to escape separately. Because I was stronger, for the safety of the two of them, I appeared to attract the pursuers."
Niu Youdao said solemnly, "In other words, at the time of the incident, the three of you were involved in the same thing?"
Zhao Xiongge nodded. "After I exposed my whereabouts, the killers really chased me. After I escaped, I got rid of them and thought that I was finally safe. When I contacted them again, I found that Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Dongguo had been killed. It was obvious that the pursuer's forces were not to be underestimated. While chasing after me, he still had the strength to deal with the two of them. Especially when I learned that the Shanghai Sect had heard about Crow Jiang from your mouth, I immediately realized that the person who was chasing us was likely to be related to Wu Chang. "
"Later on, there was news of King Ning and Shang Jianbo's death. Only then did I realize that all of this was set up by Wu Chang. I'm afraid that Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Dong Guo did not know that this matter was targeted at me until they died. I'm the one who killed them! "He looked up to the sky and sighed.
Niu Youdao was bewildered. "What do you mean?"
Zhao Xiongge's face was full of bitterness. "It's very likely that the Shang Jing was in Wu Chang's hands from the beginning. Wu Chang must have found out that I'm connected to the Shanghai Sect. Wu Chang has his eyes on the Shanghai Sect, and I'm afraid that he intends to force the Shanghai Sect into a desperate situation. Senior Brother and the rest of the elites of the Shanghai Sect were almost completely annihilated, and the entire Shanghai Sect suffered a heavy blow. The destruction of King Ning and Shang Jianbo also cut off the support of the Shanghai Sect. After forcing the Shanghai Sect into a desperate situation, he wanted to see what I would do and wait for an opportunity to force me to hand over the things. "
Niu Youdao was surprised. "Are you sure that's the case? As far as I know, it should be Shang Jianxiong and Tong Mo who used the Shang Jing to set up a trap against Shang Jianbo. "
Zhao Xiongge said, "That's all on the surface and can be ignored. There are checks and balances among the Nine Sages. It's not good for Wu Chang to make a move publicly because he doesn't want his true purpose to be exposed. Once it causes the other Eight Sages to fight over it, he won't be able to bear it and will definitely push it behind the scenes. The internal strife between the Shang family's imperial power was only used by him. I'm afraid that the two of them don't know that they've been used, and Wu Chang won't let outsiders know. "
"There are many bits and pieces that you don't know, but I do. It's enough for me to make a judgment. I've been fighting against Wu Chang for so many years and have been opponents for so many years. I've always been on high alert against him. I can more or less figure out his intentions with a single move. "
"Actually, your choice at the beginning was right. You covered up the matter of the Shang Jing and kept a grudge against the Shanghai Sect. To a certain extent, you protected yourself. But you shouldn't have publicly pulled me to your side and made a move. But you put yourself in such a dangerous situation in Jinzhou and forced me to help you. On your way back from Jinzhou to Nanzhou, I helped you fend off the assassins and publicly made a move. How could such a big commotion be hidden from Wu Chang? "
"If I'm not wrong, you were targeted by Wu Chang at that time. After that, it's very likely that Wu Chang has already placed spies around you. You must be careful. You can't let too many people know that you're still alive, or Wu Chang will definitely find out. "
As soon as these words were said, Niu Youdao was suddenly shocked. He remembered something. It was the matter of the other party returning from Jinzhou to Nanzhou.
At that time, Hai Ruyue and her son were poisoned. He had intervened and caused great trouble. For safety's sake, he had no choice but to invite Zhao Xiongge to escort him back to Nanzhou. They encountered danger on the way and Zhao Xiongge intervened.
It was after that incident that Baili Jie of the Misty Pavilion suddenly appeared and found Gongsun Bu. He developed Gongsun Bu into a spy planted in Thatched Cottage Villa.
Previously, he had attracted the attention of the Misty Pavilion. Now it seemed that it wasn't just that.
Baili Jie didn't appear earlier or later. He just happened to appear after Zhao Xiongge intervened. It matched what Zhao Xiongge said.
"Wu Chang didn't make a move on you because you were cautious and didn't find a suitable opportunity to use. Otherwise, he wouldn't have held you back for so long. Because he knew it would be difficult to pry open my mouth. If he acted rashly and aroused my suspicion, it would be meaningless. He captured me back then and used all kinds of torture. I would rather die than submit. He then knew that it was useless to use force, so he could only use roundabout methods. "
"The other mysterious group of people who participated in stealing the Shang Mirror from Yu Cang were obviously from Wu Chang. How could Wu Chang not know that the Shang Mirror was no longer in Yu Cang's hands? Later on, the Shang Mirror suddenly appeared in Yu Cang's hands. He used it to establish a country. Even I can see that it has something to do with you. How could you hide it from Wu Chang? "
"I kept my distance from you. My relationship with you is obviously because of the Shangqing Sect. Wu Chang should have guessed what I care about, so Wu Chang's main attention should still be on the Shangqing Sect. In the end, Yu Cang took out the Shang Mirror. With the infiltration of the Misty Pavilion, how could Wu Chang not find out that you gave it to him? Wu Chang found out that I didn't give the Shang Mirror to the Shangqing Sect but gave it to you. What do you think Wu Chang would think? "
"There's no need to doubt. The plot against you was immediately launched. There are two things you can check."
Niu Youdao, who was listening attentively, asked, "What two things?"
Zhao Xiongge said, "I don't know if Chuan Ying and Linghu Qiu knew each other before, but I can be sure that Chuan Ying and Linghu Qiu's relationship must have deepened after Wu Chang knew that the Shang Mirror was in Yu Cang's hands. The second thing, Chuan Ying captured the Pavilion Master of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, Xue Luo 'er. It must have been after she confirmed that you were going to enter the Sage State. "
Niu Youdao was silent. The first thing needed to be verified. As for the second thing, he was already thinking and deducing based on the known clues.
After he was on the list to enter the Saint State, he had a period of preparation in the outside world. After entering the Saint State, he went through a lot of trouble. He went into the Desolate Swamp Wasteland to hunt demon foxes for a full three months. After that, he went to the Heaven Seeking City to fool around for a while.
After that, he saw Xue Luo 'er again and deduced the time based on the size of her pregnant belly. He nodded slightly, already having an idea.
However, now that he had confirmed that Chuan Ying was from Wu Chang, it was no longer important to investigate these two things.
"When Chuan Ying entered the Saint State to get in touch with you, she wouldn't enter with the background of the Sky Demon Holy Land. Otherwise, it would arouse my suspicions. By marrying Xue Luo 'er, she would climb up to the Ice Holy Land. With this background, it would be very tempting for your situation in the Saint State. It would be very easy for her to establish a good relationship with you."
"However, I didn't expect you to be a person who wouldn't know your place. You actually 'died'. Chuan Ying's move against you failed. Left with no choice, she could only turn around and target the Shangqing Sect. Using your name, Chuan Ying turned to get close to Tang Yi. I think the process is probably like this. "
Niu Youdao nodded slightly. It was only today that he knew that this drunkard seemed to be an idle person in the Demon Ridge. Who knew that he was actually involved in so many things.
It also affected too many people. The death of Tang Mu and Dongguo Haoran, the loss of elite disciples led to the complete decline of the Shangqing Sect, the tragic death of King Ning and Shang Jianbo's family, and even Xue Luo 'er's pregnancy and marriage. There was also no knowing what would happen in the future. In the end, it was all because of a demonic book of the Demon Cult.
Some things that he didn't understand when he talked to Rulai Sha were actually answered by this drunkard. Yu Cang might not know anything, and Wu Chang intentionally helped to hide it to protect Zhao Xiongge!
To be more precise, he didn't want the secret between him and Zhao Xiongge to be easily discovered by others!
After knowing this, Niu Youdao sighed, "I really didn't expect that you actually quietly fought against Wu Chang, one of the Nine Sages, for so many years. It seems that my trip today was worth it."
Zhao Xiongge: "What qualifications do I have to fight against him? I've been enduring and resisting. I'm telling you this because I want you to understand what kind of person Wu Chang is. At most, I'll just die. He can forget about getting anything from me. But you're different, you should be careful. "
Niu Youdao smiled slightly, "You're in the light, he's in the dark, it's hard for you to move. I'm different, now he's in the light, I'm in the dark. Since Chuan Ying has been exposed, it's not certain who will be the winner. "
Zhao Xiongge reminded: "Don't mess around."
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Leave this matter to me, you can continue to bear it. Anyway, you're already used to it. Anyway, I won't fall for it. I was just worried that I couldn't find an entry point to start!"
Zhao Xiongge: "You and Wu Chang are not good people. I'm not worried about the dog-eat-dog thing. I just hope that you remember your original promise, Shangqing Sect!"
