Seeking

Zhou Xin is introverted yet direct, Zhang Qiaoen is outgoing, Zhao Tianhua is carefree, and Pei Jing is steady and meticulous.

The four generals had completely different personalities, but none of them were simple people.

Even if their command was inadequate in the past, their increasing age has brought them a wealth of experience.

Overthrowing the Scarlet Alliance State is a matter that could easily lead to the destruction of an entire Lineage; these people would not act without absolute certainty.

Zhang Qiaoen collapsed at the entrance of the Twilight Years Mansion, while Pei Jing suffered a crushing defeat at Shuiyun Pavilion.

"If not..."

If Ren Yisheng hadn't happened to be looking after Zhang Xuezhou when Zhang Qiaoen plotted her rebellion.

Without the Supreme Purity True Technique to heal severe injuries, and without Zhou Rihui, Changkong Yinghao, and Changkong Yinglian as hidden backup plans...

The unforeseen circumstances involving the patients led to a dramatic reversal of two acts of treason.

If there were no oversights, Zhang Qiaoen would have succeeded, and Pei Jing would have succeeded as well.

The scheme targeting Zhang Qiaoen's rebellion was unintentional, while the scheme targeting Pei Jing's rebellion became intentional.

The Western Capital City Sequence Committee won both rounds, but no one had a second chance; everything was now clear.

"Who told them to think they had a 100% chance of victory?" Ren Yisheng frowned. "What will Pei Jing gain after defeating the Western Capital City Sequence Committee?"

Pei Ying kept thinking and recalling, but he really didn't know who had bewitched Pei Jing, let alone Pei Jing's purpose.

In Pei Jing's eyes, he had become a pawn to be discarded in order to achieve his goals.

"I will seal off Willow Garden and then investigate all potentially related information," Pei Ying said solemnly.

"The most important thing right now is to wrap this up. Only when we confirm that Pei Jing poses no threat can we be free from worries for the time being," Ren Anran said.

He must be killed!

Ren Anran spoke very politely, but Zhou Rihui could not hide his murderous intent.

The group from Western Capital City is in dire straits; none of them can withstand the backlash.

Given the possibility of a hidden agenda, resolving all issues as quickly as possible is the most important thing.

"Du Qi can't escape far with Pei Jing on his back, especially with Song Bu'er chasing them from behind," Zhu Liangping said in a deep voice.

"Du Qi can save his own life, but it will be very difficult for him to save Pei Jing's," Huo Deqian nodded quickly. "We'll split into four groups to investigate immediately, contact Song Bu'er as soon as possible to find Pei Jing's whereabouts, and cooperate with Song Bu'er as much as possible!"

Several Sixth Sequence Holder died, Pei Jing was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and even the powerful Fifth Sequence Du Qi would find it difficult to kill the others of his same sequence in a short period of time.

Moreover, Zhu Liangping and the others' goal was not to defeat or kill Du Qi, but simply to save the injured Pei Jing's life. After discovering the other party, they believed that cooperating with Song Bu'er to complete this task would not be difficult.

Zhou Rihui, Zhu Liangping, and Huo Deqian, whose fighting strength was relatively intact, exchanged glances, pointed at Pei Ying, and then each of them chose a direction and ran out together.

At this point, the situation was almost settled. Pei Ying had killed Pei Min and led the group to rescue Wang Haoran and the others, making the possibility of them turning against them extremely low.

"Weren't any suspicious individuals found in your detention area?"

As the crowd walked away, Ren Yisheng, who had difficulty walking, looked at Wang Haoran and Ren Anran.

"They've all finished them off; not a single one was left alive, and there are no suspects!"

Wang Haoran whispered something.

Regardless of whether there were suspicious individuals or not, and regardless of which of the defectors were young talents from Qing'an Province, Wang Haoran and his group spared no one when they fled the underground palace, killing them all within its walls.

Western Capital City handled Zhang Qiaoen's treason case very generously and openly, but only targeted those who did not participate in the treason, and did not do the ancient practice of punishing nine generations of relatives.

No matter what kind of outstanding talents or Lineage scions they were, anyone who dared to plot rebellion in Pei Jing's underground palace was knocked unconscious by Ren Anran and then killed.

Among the many people, only Ning Que darkness and embraced light, and after being tainted by the blood of many, he returned to the side of the Western Capital City forces.

"Suspicious person..."

Zhang Xuezhou also read it aloud in a low voice.

Among the suspicious individuals Zhang Xuezhou knew, Zuo Quan had not left Western Capital City, Huang Daoxian's identity was unknown, and he had not even been to Western Capital City. Zhang Xuezhou did not believe that Huang Daoxian had come to Qing'an Province to cause trouble.

After eliminating these two people, Zhang Xuezhou still had no clue.

He ultimately concluded that Ren Anran was absolutely right, and that resolving the matter with Pei Jing was the most important thing.

Zhang Xuezhou touched his head, feeling that it had changed from iron to porcelain. He was fine without using his ability to suppress and intimidate, which required strong mental control. However, if he used it continuously, his porcelain head would hit the ground and fall back into the pain of mental backlash.

"Mom, how are you feeling?"

Zhang Xuezhou was unable to cast the Supreme Purity True Technique, so Ren Anran barely managed to complete the spellcasting guidance again.

Zhang Xuezhou saw Song Fengying flip and leap into the air, reaching out to pull the rope, and couldn't help but speak up quickly.

"We didn't die after falling from such a height?"

Song Fengying glanced at Zhang Xuezhou, then at the people around her.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou scratching his head, Song Fengying couldn't help but scratch her head as well.

Apart from feeling a little dizzy and weak, Song Fengying didn't feel particularly uncomfortable anywhere.

This amazed her, making her feel as if she and Zhang Xuezhou had narrowly escaped death.

"We only fell two floors before Zhou Rihui pulled us back, preventing us from falling directly down," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Then we should treat him to a meal to thank him for saving our lives!" Song Fengying said.

"That makes sense!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Song Fengying was clearly not yet accustomed to the rules of social interaction at this level, but Song Fengying talk about eating and drinking reminded Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhang Xuezhou felt he needed to brew more Luofu Emperor Tea Jade water to drink, to see if it could nourish and calm his mind. He would also seek to enhance his mental state based on the Heavenly God General Medicine.

This time he can seek the X864 gene drug as a supplement. If his cultivation level is higher, or if he encounters a similar situation again in the future, and modern medicine cannot keep up with his needs, it would undoubtedly be a terrible thing. Perhaps he would end up like Zhou Rihui and others who were once in dire straits.

After years of experience, Zhang Xuezhou realized that while strength is certainly an advantage, there will always be a corresponding opponent no matter how strong you are. In such confrontations, recovery ability becomes the most important factor.

For example, Li Shaojun has limited strength, but he repeatedly causes trouble by relying on his ability to come back to life.

Only with a second chance can they go further.

Zhang Xuezhou has always been someone who prioritizes survival and self-preservation, and he has put all his skills into running away.

At this moment, he was clearly thinking of adding another layer of insurance, striving to achieve a complementary effect between the pills and the medicine.

"The Highest Clarity Technique can only break through illusions and reveal the truth; it has no effect on my kind of mental trauma. However, the Jade Purity True Technique can separate my body into two parts, allowing the healthy part to exert its normal strength. This technique seems more suitable for those who are physically ill. I can give it a try. Oh, and I wonder if my master from the Kunlun Sacred Land is still in good health. His Nine Treasures Wine is of extremely high quality, effective on the three souls and seven spirits, and can even have an effect across realms. It should also have a restorative effect on my current mental trauma!"

The quantity of the X864 gene drug obtained is unknown, and Zhang Xuezhou had no special means to obtain this secret drug from the Montes Lineage.

After everything stabilized for the time being, Zhang Xuezhou inevitably began to explore all the possibilities of healing himself.

He pondered for a long time and felt that obtaining the Nine Treasures Wine would be even easier than obtaining the X864 gene drug, and it wouldn't take as long either.

If he were to follow Jin Chang and use the Yin-Yang Sacred Land to enter the Divine Ability Realm, the increase in his Law Power and Demon Power would further enhance his flying ability, potentially making it possible for him to travel to the Kunlun Sacred Land in a relatively short period of time.

This might be the fastest way to save himself.
