Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 716: Legend of Ancient Sword 32

Yin Qianshang was quite familiar with the situation at the Qingyu Altar headquarters, at least more familiar with it than Jiang Xinxin and others, so he was able to sneak in without being discovered, but he could not find the place where Lei Yan was imprisoning Ouyang Shaogong.

He was eager to find Jinniang, hoping to find out what had happened and why Huachang died. However, he searched everywhere he could and found no trace of Jinniang. Even the tongue he captured said that there was no such person as Jinniang. The only women at Qingyu Altar who were personally instructed by Lei Yan to be captured were Xunfang and Aunt Tong.

Yin Qianshang had no choice but to quietly go down the mountain. Baili Tusu and others were getting impatient waiting for news from Ouyang Shaogong, so Yin Qianshang could at least bring back some news.

Yin Qianshang took a wine jug from Feng Qingxue and drank for a while. After he was satisfied, he spoke: "I searched all places in the Qingyu Altar except for the place where Shao Gong was imprisoned and the alchemy room, but I couldn't find Jinniang. And I caught a tongue. People said that Lei Yan only caught Xunfang and Aunt Tong. Others were only people used for drug testing."

"I think the Candle Dragon Scale in Jinniang's hand is a rare treasure after all. Lei Yan would not easily send Jinniang to test the medicine. So after carefully inquiring about the details of those who were captured for the drug test, he confirmed that Jinniang was not among them."

"Then the question is, how could such a living person disappear?"

When Fang Lansheng heard Yin Qianshang say that many people were imprisoned in the Qingyu Altar for drug testing, he immediately jumped up and speculated: "Could it be that Jinniang refused to obey, so Lei Yan killed her early..."

Yin Qianshang never asked what happened to those missing people, and he was not sure whether Jinniang was still alive. Although they had some magic to find people, they had no relationship with Jinniang, so they could not use these magic anyway, and could only use the ordinary clumsy methods.

Jiang Xinxin knew a lot of inside information, and now was the time to speak out, "Perhaps, Lei Yan disguised Jinniang as Xunfang, so that he could take this opportunity to gain Shaogong's trust and make Shaogong willing to help them refine those pills."

Yin Qianshang looked straight over and asked, "Why do you think so, Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Xinxin said directly: "Jin Niang is just a weak woman, with only a little spiritual power, and can't even use a decent spell. Moreover, from the fact that she lived in a brothel like Hua Man Lou when she arrived in Jiangdu, and she has a treasure like the Candle Dragon Scale that has never been coveted, it is obvious that she was not a lady from a noble family in the past, and there is a force behind her supporting her."

"It's impossible for the people from Qingyu Altar to suddenly notice her movements and let her become famous in Jiangdu for two or three years before taking her away. Although I don't have concrete evidence to prove that she is from Qingyu Altar, this is the only reason that can explain why you couldn't find Jinniang there."

Feng Qingxue felt that Jiang Xinxin's guess was correct. "Brother, have you forgotten? Hua Chang said before that he saw something wrong with Jin Niang's face, and then she was killed. Then Jin Niang disappeared, and we couldn't find her in the Qingyu Altar. That means Jin Niang must have disguised herself as someone else and replaced someone else's identity."

Yin Qianshang's heart suddenly tightened. He knew how deep Ouyang Shaogong's feelings for Xunfang were. Since everyone speculated that Jinniang pretended to be Xunfang and cooperated with Lei Yan to threaten and control Ouyang Shaogong, they had to act quickly and not let Ouyang Shaogong suffer.

"Then we must quickly find a way to send a message to Shao Gong. No matter whether Shao Gong believes it or not, we cannot let Shao Gong be controlled by Lei Yan!"

Jiang Xinxin stopped Yin Qianshang who was about to go up the mountain again, "Shao Gong already knows that Xun Fang is not a real person. If a person wants to pretend to be another person, Shao Gong may not be able to see it if he uses magic, but if the other party uses drugs, there is no way he can escape Shao Gong's eyes."

After being reminded by Jiang Xinxin, Yin Qianshang felt that she was right. Ouyang Shaogong's medical skills were not comparable to those of ordinary doctors. Otherwise, why would Qingyutan, which is famous for its medical skills and pharmaceutical manufacturing, insist on holding on to Ouyang Shaogong?

Jinniang's disguise as Xunfang might not be exposed for a while, but as long as Ouyang Shaogong keeps a cool head, he will definitely be able to see through Jinniang's pretense!

However, Yin Qianshang still decided to go up the mountain. "Since Jinniang pretended to be Xunfang and cooperated with Lei Yan to deceive Shaogong, maybe Huachang really died at her hands. Then I must let Shaogong spare her life as soon as possible, so that I can avenge Huachang with my own hands!"

After Yin Qianshang said this, it was difficult for everyone to continue persuading him. Feng Qingxue could only pack some talismans and dry food for him to take with him, and confiscated his wine gourd. "Since you are here to do serious work, you should not drink alcohol to avoid making mistakes. I will return this wine gourd to you when you bring Shao Gong down the mountain safely."

If it were any other time, Yin Qianshang would have complained, but now Hua Chang died innocently and died of drowning. Although he used the art of summoning spirits to call back Hua Chang's soul, in fact, without Jiang Xinxin's oil-paper umbrella, Hua Chang's soul could only hold on for a short while under the scorching sun before it would be shattered.

So at this moment, even though Feng Qingxue had confiscated his wine gourd, he just smiled casually and tacitly agreed to the matter.

Jiang Xinxin no longer had the patience to wait for news from Ouyang Shaogong and Yin Qianshang. The water-scarce village mentioned by the master of Tiezhu Temple a few hundred miles away was still waiting for her to check on the situation. Apart from Baili Tusu and herself, there was no other disciple from Tianyong City around, so she had to go alone.

On the fifth day, Jiang Xinxin took out the red talisman that she had used to check on Ouyang Shaogong and prepared to activate it. Fang Lansheng saw it and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Xinxin, didn't we agree to give this opportunity to Xiangling?"

Jiang Xinxin did not forget this little thing. She handed the talisman to Xiangling and signaled her to activate it.

Xiang Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is today the critical moment?"

Feng Qingxue looked at Baili Tu Su. They were both a little anxious, especially last night when she secretly used the spirit butterfly to talk to Yin Qianshang. Yin Qianshang said that Ouyang Shaogong seemed to have not yet discovered the flaw in Jin Niang, and Lei Yan was still constantly letting those innocent people test the effects of the elixir. He had artificially transformed many innocent people into aliens who had lost their six senses and only knew how to attack living things.

Therefore, Feng Qingxue and Baili Tu Su support everyone to go up the mountain together.

Feng Qingxue said: "My eldest brother said that Lei Yan has committed many evil deeds. The sooner we eradicate him, many people will not have to suffer any more. It will also allow those who have been persecuted to rest in peace sooner. In addition, my eldest brother said that he left many marks along the way. No matter how tight Lei Yan's defense is, we have a chance to get in!"

Baili Tu Su also agreed to go directly there, but it was difficult to arrange for Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling.

But Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling thought about it and decided to stay behind to provide support. "You guys just go ahead. Xiang Ling and I are really weak in cultivation. We might just fall behind if we go. So we'll just stay at the foot of the mountain and prepare to pick you up."

After arranging their respective tasks, Jiang Xinxin also left a large number of talismans to Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling. Under the leadership of Feng Qingxue, they successfully reached the main altar of the Qingyu Altar.

The guards at the Qingyu Altar's main altar were indeed very strict. Not only did they have natural defenses to rely on, but Lei Yan also had a number of powerful demons under his command. Even some important checkpoints were guarded by alienated humans.

However, although these alienated people are very sensitive to the breath of living people, there are living people guarding the checkpoints everywhere. In order to prevent the aliens from howling all the time, they gave the guards things to isolate the breath. Isn't this actively delivering clues to pass the checkpoints?

Besides, Jiang Xinxin's breath-suppressing talisman is not an ordinary item. It is much more useful than the breath-isolating talismans worn by these guards. So everyone went up the mountain and even found the alchemy room outside the dungeon where Ouyang Shaogong was imprisoned without alarming anyone.

However, no one expected that Fen Ji was a psychic. After seeing the miserable conditions of various strange people, Baili Tu Su could only barely suppress his hatred for Lei Yan, and the Fen Ji sword was aroused by evil spirit. If Jiang Xinxin had not been quick to press down the Fen Ji sword in time, I am afraid that everyone would have been discovered by Lei Yan long ago.
