Chapter 2227 The dark hand

Isn't it because of admiration for Asha?

I subconsciously looked back at Zhang Yao and saw her face was gloomy, so I couldn't help but start reviewing the whole thing.

According to Chang Yao's guess, if those people outside were not attracted here because Yang Asha was exposed, then they should have been attracted here intentionally.

Who would do such a thing?

There are only three groups of people who know where Yang Asha is hiding.

One is the Witch King, the other is us, and the third one is Yang Asha and the others.

If someone inside Yang Asha had betrayed them, the timing would have been too coincidental. It would have been too early, not too late, but it happened at this time. Excessive coincidence can only mean that the possibility is not very high.

Moreover, the Miao people around Yang Asha can be regarded as direct descendants, and they were just transferred from her own village.

These Miao people have lived in the deep mountains and old forests for generations, inheriting witchcraft, so they are included in the Taoist world. They are different from the Miao people in the secular world, and their lifestyles are also different.

Lao Bai said that their village is not big, and every household has some kind of kinship. The so-called brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers, followed Yang Asha to Xiangxi. They were first betrayed by the Qin family, and the newly arrived group of people also

He was jointly strangled by all the forces in the southwest, and all his relatives and friends died in the battle. It can be said that he was burdened with a blood feud. He and the forces in the southwest have long been at odds with each other. The chance of a traitor is really too low. If someone really chooses

Betrayal is a situation in which everyone betrays and alienates family members. No one wants this.

If it weren't for the people inside Yang Asha, then only the Witch King and us would be left.

Although the Witch King rebelled from Miao territory, as far as I can tell from the clues so far, his betrayal is really strange. There may be a huge hidden secret in it. Moreover, he and Yang Asha met secretly, and it does not seem like they are hostile.

He himself also cares about the friendship between the Miao people. Even when he told me his address, he repeatedly emphasized that he did not want me to hurt anyone's life. Besides, he himself was not targeted by the Southwest Xuanmen forces, so there was no need to get involved. He had no motive.

It's almost certain that it's not them.

Then only...us is left!!

As for us, how is it possible?

There won't be any problems inside the Zhenwu Temple. We can barely breathe through one nostril. Even if someone is connected to the Southwest Xuanmen forces, they will definitely inform me.

Therefore, it is impossible for us to take the initiative to contact each other, it can only be that the other party followed us and found the place.

But the question is...how is this possible?

We entered Xiangxi secretly and did not indicate that we were looking for Yang Asha. How could Southwest Xuanmen know about us or even deliberately follow us?

wrong!!

wrong!!!

Does anyone know how we entered Xiangxi - Tianmeng!!

If the Tianmeng revealed our whereabouts and purpose to the Southwest Xuanmen forces, then it would be logical for them to keep an eye on us.

As for motivation...

Let Southwest Xuanmen strangle Yang Asha's wings, turn Yang Asha into a polished commander, and make it easier to control, and just use her name to legitimately integrate the forces in the southwest...

This is very much in line with Tianmeng's interests.

It's just that the Southwest Xuanmen forces are not paper tigers. I feel numb when I look at the crowds of people outside. Once they face each other, they will still escape death. Although I can compete with the Heavenly Master, I am not invincible. I will be beaten even if I am surrounded.

Surround and kill!!

Therefore, betraying Yang Asha is equivalent to betraying me. After all, I am also trapped in it!!

Qingzhu will never betray me. She knows the depth and the power of Southwest Xuanmen. Even the Tianmeng must treat it with caution. Even if she believes in my strength, she will not naively think that I can do it alone.

To compete with the entire southwestern Xuanmen world, I am not yet a heavenly official, and I cannot push through an era. Selling me is equivalent to letting me die!!

When this whole set of logic is laid down and combined with what Chang Yao said before, the situation becomes somewhat clear.

"Did someone within Tianmeng betray me?!"

I looked at Jiang Yao in disbelief.

"We do not rule out this possibility. There is an 80% chance that you will be betrayed and a 20% chance that Yang Asha will be followed!"

Zhang Yao glanced at Zhang Wan who was sitting aside and said in a low voice: "She has become more enlightened recently. She has been in frequent contact with Qingzhu. She takes the initiative to report everything to Qingzhu about what we have done and what we are going to do. We will report every detail to Qingzhu today."

Wan's operation is no exception. I saw her reporting to Qingzhu. It was after you found the Witch King and we were on the way to meet you. The video was taken. Qingzhu was still in the Taoist temple in Huaihua Tianshi Mansion, and she was with her at that time.

There are several people.

I think that if you were really betrayed, the person who betrayed you should be among the people around Qingzhu.

I am afraid that the other party is not only plotting against Southwest Xuanmen, but also plotting against you.

Think about it, Qingzhu is the spokesperson of the Empress, and he dares to place an informant around Qingzhu, and even bribes Qingzhu's cronies. What kind of power does this have? What is his status in the Tianmeng? Such a thing

If someone attacks you, isn't it worthy of attention?"

I fell into deep thought.

Zhang Yao glanced at Zhang Wan again and said: "You don't have to embarrass her about this matter. Although she doesn't like her, she probably made it unintentionally. Now Tianshi Mansion is in an embarrassing situation. It's strange that she doesn't like Qingzhu in front of her.

, But it doesn’t matter. I think Qingzhu’s reaction seems to be enthusiastic, but in fact she is thousands of miles away. That woman is smart, and I am afraid she is also considering you and giving you a chance. Zhang Wan will soon realize that she wants to stand firm in Tianmeng.

I must be on good terms with you. This matter will definitely fall on you in the end. So many people are targeting you. You have to grasp it. There are already unknown forces in the Tianmen League that have shown obvious malice towards you.

, at this critical juncture, it’s time for you and Tianshifu to report to each other to keep warm, so don’t act out of emotion.”

"I know the importance."

I nodded solemnly, pondered for a moment, and whispered: "There are too many people outside. Someone will definitely stay behind to hold them back later. No one can do it except me.

I have something to trouble you later, you retreat with Wushuang and the others, first go to the hiding place of Yang Asha and the others to avoid the limelight, then I will join you later!"

Chang Yao's expression changed, and he said without thinking: "No, how can you hold it off by yourself?

The Xuanmen forces in the southwest are intertwined and have always been the most powerful area in the Xuanmen world. Although they practice different ways and cannot be called Heavenly Masters, there are quite a few people with Heavenly Master-level combat capabilities. Qingzhu gives you

According to the information, there are nearly ten Celestial Masters listed on the surface, and the situation is getting more and more complicated now. Some inheritances hidden in the deep mountains and old forests have also appeared, such as the Lingshan Nuo and the possible Meishan God.

, God knows how many people with Celestial Master-level combat power are secretly there. Although you can fight against Celestial Masters, being besieged by so many Celestial Masters will definitely be dangerous. How can I leave you alone at this time?!"

"I have sense and can get away with it!"

I glanced at Asha and said quickly: "Lao Bai has obviously been drugged, and Zhang Xinya will also lose her combat effectiveness. Our strength will be greatly reduced. If I am not here, I don't know if Yang Asha and Pan Hu have other thoughts."

, Wushuang is too naive and cannot control the situation. Brother Shuisheng and Brother Yaozi can see the situation accurately, but they cannot control the Miao people. What's more, there is a force in the Tianmen League that has shown obvious malice towards me. What is the other party?

It’s hard to guess how many arrangements have been made. At this time, if there is not someone strong enough and capable, I’m afraid something bad will happen. After thinking about it, you are the only one!”

"That won't work either!

At worst, we can break through this Southwestern Xuanmen dragnet together and kill it until it bleeds like a river. We have been through so many storms and waves together, are we still afraid of this?"

Yao Yao stubbornly shook his head.

"no the same!!

Usually the people we deal with are basically not human beings!!

We had the upper hand in the flower boat. That’s because the flower boat belongs to all kinds of people and is not a true Taoist power!

This time, what we have to face is the top power in the Xuanmen world, and they are all human beings. The human head is the most difficult weapon to deal with. If the other party finds that one of us has been injured, they will specifically target us.

If the situation is in chaos, there will definitely be heavy losses!

There are too many people, really too many, you don’t even know how many people are blocked outside the valley!!”

I grabbed Jiang Yao's hand, and my tone softened a lot. I stared at her and whispered, "I'm begging you, okay?"

I don’t have many wishes in this life. My biggest wish is that people like us in Zhenwu Temple can be well. We are always together and everyone is safe. I only have this place left to rest my soul. I can’t afford to lose anyone.

ah!

No matter what, you have to ensure that they all withdraw.

As for me...

It’s easier for me to move around if I’m the only one left. I can come and go freely and don’t have to worry too much. I can just let go and fight. Although they have many Heavenly Master-level combat powers, it’s hard for me to stay. I have a way to leave!!”

Zhang Yao stared at me for a moment, and finally nodded slowly, then turned away and muttered in a low voice: "I have never said a few soft words in my eight lifetimes, but now you do this to me..."

Without waiting for my response, Zhang Xinya, who had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes!
