"I... I'm telling you."

Hearing Xiao Fan's threat, Sha Qing could only relent and spoke to Xiao Fan and Yun Yun. As for the punishment he received after betraying the sect, that was something that happened later. If he didn't speak now, he might not be able to pass the current hurdle.

"Tell me, of course I have the means to tell whether you are cheating on me or not."

When Sha Qing heard what Xiao Fan said, he immediately began to tell Xiao Fan what he knew.

"Well... our sect is actually very hierarchical. Each Elder is responsible for different affairs. Except for Elder and Sect Master who are responsible for things, others even know that there is such a plan, but they have no idea about the specific content of the plan."

After Sha Qing said this, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Fan, and found that he still had a calm expression, and then continued, "So what you just said, about the plan to sacrifice the people, although I probably know some information, the specific person in charge of this matter is not me, I don't know at all."

"Huh?"

Xiao Fan was sitting on the stone bench. Hearing Sha Qing's words, he glanced at him and then said calmly, "Then according to what you said, it seems that keeping you has no effect?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Qing found that the pressure on his body had increased a lot instantly. Seven-Colored Toad, who was originally lying on his shoulder, now looked depressed.

Feeling that Xiao Fan's murderous intention was not fake, Sha Qing also put away his luck mentality. Although he didn't know which force the mysterious strong man in front of him came from, no matter who dared to go against the Chu Yun Empire and Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, there would only be one ending.

But the most important thing now is to ensure that he can survive.

"I, please let me think..."

Sha Qing was afraid that Xiao Fan would kill him immediately, so he couldn't help shouting at Xiao Fan, and then he started thinking.

To be able to reach such a high position among the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Sha Qing is very good both in terms of connections and his own talents. Although Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has strict hierarchy and clear division of labor, Sha Qing, as an old man of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, naturally knows the sect's consistent style of doing things.

Although he is not responsible for the sacrifice, he does not know how many Manager and disciples in the sect are his. Although he is not involved in major events in the sect, he is not unfamiliar with them.

Sha Qing After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered a matter he dealt with the day before yesterday.

The sect summoned some people within Tianrong City and rushed to Zhanyun City on the border of the Chu Yun Empire. Thinking of this, Sha Qing seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said to Xiao Fan, "I know, it must be at Zhanyun City!"

"Zhanyun City?"

Xiao Fan heard Sha Qing's words and looked at Sha Qing curiously. After all, he was not familiar with Sha Qing.

"Yes, it must be Zhanyun City."

Sha Qing did not delay and continued to speak to Xiao Fan, "Zhanyun City is located on the southwest border of the Chu Yun Empire. It is extremely remote and far away from the Jia Ma Empire is not far away, and there are currently no masters in Zhanyun City, so if anyone wants to start, Zhanyun City must be the most suitable."

"Didn't you just say you didn't know? Why did you immediately infer that they were planning to attack Zhanyun City?"

Seeing that Xiao Fan and Sha Qing seemed very confident, they couldn't help but asked curiously, "Besides, how do you know that there is definitely no strong person among Zhanyun City?"

When Sha Qing heard Xiao Fan's question, there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and then he said, "Well, I suddenly remembered the many orders given by the door some time ago. Many Manager and disciples in the Chu Yun Empire's hinterland were pulled away from their places for various reasons and gathered in the southwest."

"Many of them are my people and I have constant contact with them. I didn't notice it when I heard them talk about it before, but it was only after you reminded me that I realized it."

"And Zhanyun City is not far away from the Jia Ma Empire. If something happens, we can better blame it on the Jia Ma Empire."

Sha Qing opened his mouth to explain to Xiao Fan and Yun Yun.

Even worried that Xiao Fan would not believe it, he continued, "Moreover, Zhanyun City originally had conflicts with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, which is why I am sure that Zhanyun City is where they plan to attack."

"Contradiction? What do you mean?"

Xiao Fan heard Sha Qing's words and asked curiously.

"City Lord Zhan Zichu of Zhanyun City was Chu Yun Empire's general and was loyal to the previous emperor. He had many objections to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect at the beginning, which caused the sect to suffer a lot of losses. Because he was against the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, the war ended Later, under the control of the senior officials in the sect, he was demoted to Zhanyun City. In fact, if the emperor had not blocked it, I am afraid that Zhan Family would have died before he could get there. However, it was precisely because of his arrival that City gradually developed, and later it was changed to Zhanyun City."

"Since Zhan Zichu died, many of the descendants of the Zhan Family have ill intentions towards the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. They are one of the few families in the Chu Yun Empire that are against the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, so this is why I said they might choose Zhanyun City as the location."

After listening to Sha Qing's narration, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun understood what Sha Qing said and why Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect chose the location We are at Zhanyun City. Firstly, it is geographically close to the Jia Ma Empire, so it is easy to blame them. Secondly, because there are still forces that are not convinced by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, we can just clean them up.

[Ding! The host has discovered the sacrifice location, please complete the task as soon as possible.]

The sound of the system sounded, which made Xiao Fan feel happy. This showed that what Sha Qing just said was true. The place where Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was going to strike was Zhanyun City.

After confirming where the other party was going to attack, Xiao Fan had no intention of continuing to chat with Sha Qing. After all, this was a time-limited mission, and he had to rush to Zhanyun City as soon as possible. He really had no time to waste time here.

"Everything you said is true."

Xiao Fan said lightly to Sha Qing, turned to look at Yun Yun on the side, glanced at Sha Qing's robe thoughtfully, and then said, "Let's go."

After the words fell, the two of them flew directly towards the sky.

Sha Qing on the ground looked at Xiao Fan who were gradually going away, with a touch of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that the other party actually let him go like this!

Sha Qing had just shown a relaxed expression on his face when a man in black with a red mask on his face appeared not far from Sha Qing.

Sha Qing saw a look of surprise on his face when he saw the person coming. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but a dark green color gradually appeared on his face. Then his eyes widened and he fell to the ground dead.

The man in black looked at Sha Qing who was gradually turning into blood on the ground. There was no surprise on his face. Black Robe stretched out a dry arm and struck Sha Qing's body. Then a gray-brown poisonous snake came out from under Sha Qing's clothes and hovered in the hand of the man in black.
