"Master Ying Sheng."
Zhang Zhiyun was the first to speak, "You don't suspect us, do you?"
Why can't we doubt you?
Ying Sheng's voice was noticeably colder.
"My lord, even if the Thousand-Faced Fox were here, he couldn't possibly impersonate us in our current state, could he?"
At this moment, both of them were in the insect state of the Ancient Demon itself. These words made Ying Sheng pause slightly. He looked at the guards in the distance, who had been smashed to pieces by his punch. Among the shattered flesh, there were also Ancient Insect mixed in. Together with the flesh of the Four Saints Army outside, they were shattered into a pile of meat paste.
A violent rage surged within Ying Sheng, almost uncontrollable.
" The Thousand-Faced Fox is known for her thousand faces, but who says she can only imitate humans?" Ying Sheng stepped forward, his eyes blazing with increasing ferocity.
Zhang Zhiyun retreated repeatedly, sensing that the other party genuinely intended to attack them.
For a moment, he even felt it was extremely absurd. He could accept it himself, but the person next to him was a member of the royal family. The entire Ancient Demon had only successfully hatched two so far. Ziyue had been so threatening back then, but she hadn't been executed. Besides her great contributions, her noble royal status was also an important reason.
When Zhang Xiaoyun defeated Chen Ying, the High Priest almost attacked her directly, disregarding the rules, precisely because of Zhang Xiaoyun's royal status. Now, a mere deputy general dares to attack a member of the royal family based on a mere suspicion?
Even he could tell at that moment that something was wrong.
Zhang Xiaoyun looked at the other person and panicked terribly. Sure enough.
He felt something was off from the very beginning.
Only then did he roughly determine the situation: something was manipulating their emotions!
Yes, there's no mistake. If he wasn't quite sure before, he's almost certain now. Everyone's mental state is not quite normal right now.
They all lacked at least a bit of composure.
The War Priest is clearly a very composed person. Even if he is an incompetent general, even if he is indecisive and somewhat greedy, he would never go to such lengths as to gamble with the lives of all his soldiers.
This shouldn't have been his performance.
The same applies to Ying Sheng before them. Even if he suspected that Thousand-Faced Fox was among them, he shouldn't have acted so decisively. The guards were all orphans of former elders, how noble were they? The bodies they parasitized were also high-level Four Saints Bodies created using top-tier secret techniques. Once they reached the next stage of spiritual energy, almost every member of the guards could advance to the King Level, becoming the backbone of the Ancient Demon Clan in the future. How could they be destroyed so easily?
Ying Sheng usually acts like a decisive lieutenant, but this is going too far.
"So what?" Zhang Xiaoyun didn't back down. His royal bloodline and dignity made him unwilling to be so humiliated. Instead, he looked up and coldly asked, " Ying Sheng, do you want to kill us too and see if it's as you think?"
Ying Sheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then the evil fire in his heart was instantly extinguished as if by cold water, which made him suddenly wake up. He even looked at his hand, which still had the flesh and blood of his compatriots, with a bit of fear!
What am I doing?
Are you crazy?
His first thought was to question himself, because he knew very well that he had really intended to attack the prince!
how so?
Even if there are doubts, there shouldn't be.
But in that moment of confusion and fear, suddenly, a chill swept over me.
The speed was astonishing; almost in the instant he became aware of it, the icy chill had already seeped into his heart.
In a physical sense
"Master Ying Sheng!"
Zhang Zhiyun's eyes widened. With his current eyesight, he couldn't see what had just happened. At that moment, behind Ying Sheng, a jet-black sword pierced through Ying Sheng's body and penetrated his right heart!
Each Ancient Demon is located in a different place and has its own unique habits and dangers, so it is difficult for ordinary people to predict the weaknesses of Ancient Demon. Because each one is different, you can only guess.
But this time, the opponent clearly knew. The ink-black short sword accurately located Lord Ying Sheng Sheng's position and pierced through his right chest!
"You"
Ying Sheng turned around, and what came into view was that mysterious yin-yang fish face.
It was the guy who ambushed Tian Heng.
When did he arrive?
Ying Sheng wondered if even a top-tier assassin like Quefeng could approach him silently. How did this guy manage that?
But clearly, the other party had no intention of giving him that answer. Without hesitation, an astonishing power erupted from the black short sword, instantly shattering the Ancient Demon Worm that had been pierced through!
With the Ancient Demon eliminated, the Four Saints Physique froze in place, like a puppet with its strings cut.
"It's you." Zhang Xiaoyun felt a chill in her heart, but she immediately recognized him. He was the mysterious celestial being who had ambushed Tian Heng earlier.
Previously, everyone was speculating about his identity and wary of his actions, but for a moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten his existence.
Because subconsciously, you would feel that it is with the West Sea Army, but you don't realize that the West Sea Army and this guy are not on the same side at all.
The mysterious celestial figure carefully helped Ying Sheng lie down, then used some unknown power to freeze him before laying him down.
"It's you, isn't it?" Zhang Xiaoyun knew she couldn't escape, so she decided to ask for the truth!
The opponent was able to kill Ying Sheng in one move; although it was a sneak attack, their skill was probably no weaker than the head guard's.
The celestial phenomena looked up at Zhang Xiaoyun, saying nothing, their faces shifting between black and white in an eerie way.
"It was you!" Zhang Xiaoyun said with certainty, "Everyone's emotions seem a bit off. The more emotional they are, the easier it is to lose control. You did the right thing, didn't you?"
"Celestial phenomena all possess special abilities. Some are terrifying, capable of igniting the world with evil fire, while others possess an extremely frightening ability to control people's hearts. You should be the latter; you can control people's emotions, causing them to lose themselves without realizing it."
"Although Ying Sheng is a decisive and ruthless person, he would never easily attack me. But it was because of you that he used the clues about the Thousand-Faced Fox to lure out his emotions, causing him to lose control and not even notice your arrival. The fact that the Captain of the Guard left so easily and the War Priest acted so rashly was all because of you, right?"
"Hmm," the statue, which had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, revealing a strange smile beneath its yin-yang mask, "What a clever child."
"Which faction are you from?" Zhang Xiaoyun asked coldly.
"Which force?" Tianxiang chuckled maliciously. "What kind of force can control us?"
"No," Zhang Xiaoyun shook her head, "You are definitely not an ordinary celestial phenomenon!"
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the other person's smile vanished, and their ever-changing head tilted slightly. "Why do you say that?"
"You definitely have someone to work with!" Zhang Xiaoyun said through gritted teeth, with absolute certainty!
