High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 233 - 43: Disciple Cang Xing, Greetings to the Martial Saint! (3-in-1) _2
In Wenxian’s view, Ji Chengtian undoubtedly played the part of a clown.
The Elixir of Longevity was not found, and in a fit of rage, he captured people, only for them to escape.
Moreover, Lady Liang and Chen Kuang, who had caused a commotion, were both dead. Su Huaiying was just a three or four-year-old child without any cultivation, how could she possibly cause any significant upheaval?
Unexpectedly, the next news about Su Huaiying was that she had obtained the "Retrospective Bell"!
This is not a simple matter; it could even be described as somewhat bizarre!
Not to mention the dangers within the Yong’an River secret realm, but just the Grandmaster dispatched by the Divine Farmer Bureau would have made it impossible for someone as ordinary as Su Huaiying to succeed.
There must be other secrets involved.
Wenxian grew serious and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle, please explain in detail."
Huangfu Yan said, "Beside Su Huaiying, there is Zhang Zhizhou, the first disciple of Freedom Mountain. However... according to the reports from my subordinates, Zhang Zhizhou actually considers Su Huaiying as the leader and himself as the strategist."
Wenxian found it incredibly absurd, frowning deeply, "Su Huaiying is... almost five years old, right? Although Zhang Zhizhou is somewhat eccentric, it shouldn’t be to this extent, right?"
He speculated, "Could it be... this little princess of Liang Kingdom is someone with innate wisdom?"
Huangfu Yan neither confirmed nor denied, saying, "Perhaps, but it doesn’t matter."
"What matters is that Su Huaiying has appeared outside Zangfeng State."
Upon hearing the mention of Zangfeng State... Wenxian suddenly lifted his head and realized the implication:
"Her appearance means... the Elixir of Longevity is not with her."
Wenxian stood up, his fat body pacing back and forth, "But entering the Yang Kingdom, the only one likely to possess the Elixir of Longevity should be her."
"Who else could it be?"
Huangfu Yan whispered, "I have a hypothesis..."
He paused suddenly and then smiled, "Your Majesty... it seems my hypothesis is correct; a turning point has indeed arrived."
...
From the moment he entered, Chen Kuang noticed something was wrong with this Elder "Drizzle".
The other Demon Race elders appeared normal.
But "Drizzle" alone appeared to Chen Kuang as a person split in two.
One half of him looked normal, but the other half was "overlaid" by a slightly misaligned shadow.
It was as if he had been parasitized by this shadow.
This shadow’s appearance was precisely that of the Divine Farmer Bureau’s Si Zheng, Huangfu Yan!
Of course, Chen Kuang did not recognize Huangfu Yan, but Uncle Wang Yang, Han Mountain, and Tong Shi did.
Through their Evil Karma Illusion Realm, Chen Kuang even gained a detailed understanding of the power dynamics of the Divine Farmer Bureau and the Prince’s Mansion.
Of course, he also had a deep impression of this Si Zheng of the Divine Farmer Bureau, whom he had never met.
Skilled in Mechanical Art, with a relatively moderate temperament, and not extreme towards the Demon Race, he often turned a blind eye to collaborations between his subordinates and the Demon Race.
This Si Zheng’s strength was in the Upper Three Grades Profound Profound Realm.
——At this time, Chen Kuang could truly feel the weakness of Liang Kingdom’s strength, with its only notable combat power being Huo Hengxuan, a Grandmaster, while the top forces of the Zhou and Yang Kingdoms were primarily in the Upper Three Grades.
However, most of the time, he presented himself as a puppet, and few had seen his true face.
And this is where his terror lies.
After all, no one knows if the person beside them is a puppet.
And now, Chen Kuang, through his actions, demonstrated just how terrifying this Si Zheng’s Mechanical Art really was.
The "Drizzle" killed by him revealed half of his true form at the moment of death.
Externally, "Drizzle" appeared as a fair-skinned, gentle-looking weak scholar, but at the moment of death, beautiful blue-green feathers resembling eyes appeared on his face, and his hands turned into sharp claws.
The true form of this "Drizzle" was actually a peacock.
However, the process of this demon form manifestation was forcibly halted as Huangfu Yan’s consciousness directly took over the puppet’s body.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked; the Elder second only to the Alliance Leader in the Mountain and Sea Alliance was actually a puppet of the Divine Farmer Bureau’s Si Zheng!
Only "Kui" remained composed, though grave, his demeanor was not particularly surprised.
Chen Kuang looked at "Drizzle"... or rather, at Huangfu Yan.
"Is it that difficult to see?"
He spread his hands, "Doesn’t our Alliance Leader have foreseen this as well?"
The other elders inwardly complained—who’s with you in saying "our"? Isn’t it a bit too convenient to claim affiliation?
Just moments ago, you were merely an unfamiliar demon trying to collaborate with the Mountain and Sea Alliance, now you speak as if you belong to it.
At this moment, they naturally could not refute him.
After all, present here was one of their greatest enemies.
Surprisingly, before Huangfu Yan could respond to Chen Kuang’s words, it was "Kui" who shook his head and said:
"I observed for a long time, cross-referencing ’Drizzle’s’ origins and actions with those of the Divine Farmer Bureau, and after a decade, I confirmed his identity as a mole."
"And you, just with one encounter, confirmed that ’Drizzle’ was a puppet of Huangfu Yan."
The typically childlike face of "Kui" took on a grave and serious expression:
"This is difficult, very unbelievable."
"Uh..." Chen Kuang had intended to use "Kui" to cover his own abilities and flatter the Alliance Leader.
Who knew the Alliance Leader would give face by not giving face at all...
Fortunately, Huangfu Yan did not dwell too much on this matter.
The corpse of "Drizzle" took two steps forward, twisting its neck back, with the wounds on its body not healing and the death aura spreading rapidly... it seemed it couldn’t last much longer.
