C435 The Truth Was Revealed
"Mr Yang, this is the pill used to treat external injuries in the army..."
"Mr Ning is fine. Qingcheng's divine soul is just a little uncomfortable and there are no external injuries."
Yang Xuan gently placed Yuh Qingcheng on the bed and checked her pulse. It had gradually calmed down. It was estimated that she would wake up soon.
After settling Yuh Qingcheng down, Yang Xuan and the two walked to the yard. They leaned against the stone bench and sat down. They talked about what they had encountered today to Ning Zifeng.
The more Ning Zifeng heard, the heavier his mood became. He frowned and said, "I had long guessed that it was the Lo Capital Army. I didn't expect it to be true. This matter must be reported to the general as soon as possible!"
The post office immediately shook his head. "Now that Lo Capital has been completely sealed off, not a single fly can fly out within a hundred mile radius. It is too difficult to send a message."
Ning Zifeng continued, "I have come to send a message. Take advantage of the night to get out of the city and take a small path from the Broken Soul Mountain. We will arrive at the Profound Gate Pass in two days at most."
Ning Zifeng had walked out of the Splintersoul Mountain before. He had heard about this path from the soldiers in the army. He only understood how dangerous this path was after taking a trip. He was able to walk it because of his good luck.
But now, the military situation was urgent. The three hundred thousand soldiers of Lo Capital were like a sword on top of Great Wei's head, ready to attack the capital at any time. No one could bear that sin, so he had to make this trip.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Ning Zifeng suddenly stood up. Although there were still many injuries on his body that made him look like he was on the verge of collapse, the expression on his face was firm.
The courier quickly pulled him back and looked at Yang Xuan as if asking for help.
Yang Xuan smiled faintly and then lightly slammed the table. He said, "Mr Ning should sit down first. This matter is not urgent. The Lo Capital army had been here for more than a day or two, but all of them were guarding the city and did not make any big movements. Don't you feel that something is wrong?"
Even if Ning Zifeng didn't go and report the news, the Lo Capital's rebellion couldn't be concealed. It was impossible that the elder of Shadow Pavilion and Weiyuan Marquis didn't understand this principle. However, they didn't seize the opportunity to launch an attack before the news spread. This was very strange.
Ning Zifeng also calmed down. He thought through Yang Xuan's words and slowly sat down. He frowned and said, "That's true. What do you think they are selling? A total of three hundred thousand soldiers. What are they going to do without fighting a war?"
"This is the key!" Yang Xuan slammed the table and said, "Elder Ghost Eye said that he wanted to find a woman today. It must be Aunt Liu. The clue must be with Miss Liu."
"Hongti?" Ning Zifeng frowned and turned to the room behind him. "But Hongti is just a small manager of the embroidery workshop. How could she be involved in such a matter?"
"Does Mr Ning still remember the Zhou family?"
"Of course. The patriarch of the Zhou family believed what that ghost cultivator said. He insisted on having an affair with his dead son."
As Ning Zifeng spoke, he suddenly felt that these two incidents were filled with a familiar feeling, as if the process was exactly the same.
After pondering for a moment, Ning Zifeng suddenly thought of something. He took out a sachet from his pocket and said in surprise, "I know, the secret must be in here!"
"What secret?" Yang Xuan looked at the sachet in his hand and was a little puzzled.
On the way back, Yang Xuan had already connected the matters between the Zhou family and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very similar, but he couldn't think of any more clues.
What could Ning Zifeng do with this small sachet?
"This is the marriage sachet Hongti went to the temple to ask for. It contains my birth date!" Ning Zifeng said as he opened the sachet in his hand. He took out two pieces of paper from the sachet. There was a small Buddhist seal on it.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xuan's mind seemed to have become clear. He quickly shifted his gaze over.
The two pieces of paper were slowly opened. Under their gazes, Ning Zifeng's birthday first appeared, followed by Lau Hongti's birthday.
When the Yin year, the Yin month, the Yin day, and the Yin day.
"Extreme Yin Body!"
Ning Zifeng muttered, as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind exploded.
The girl who was forced to die by the Zhou family was exactly the same as Lau Hongti's birthday. The two strangers were connected just like that, and a clue was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
The postman's face was filled with shock. After a moment, he said bitterly, "So that's how it is. Their setup is the Heavenly Devil Great Formation."
"Heavenly Devil Great Formation?" Yang Xuan immediately asked curiously, "What is that?"
The post officer turned to Ning Zifeng and said, "Mr Ning is from the army. He must know more about this than me. Let Mr Ning talk about it."
Ning Zifeng seemed to have remembered some bad memories. He slowly closed his eyes and gently pressed his fingers on the table a few times.
"Many years ago, there was a small city in the south that was targeted by ghost cultivators. It was planned to use a woman with extreme yin as the eye of the formation to sacrifice five hundred thousand civilians.
This matter only spread to the capital three days later. It immediately caused a stir in the entire Great Wei. The Emperor's dragon might was furious and prime minister Xu personally led the army. All the spectral cultivators in the Great Wei were directly captured and executed. Those spectral cultivators who had escaped death also disappeared in the Great Wei territory.
My father once mentioned this matter to me. He said that although he was also capturing the spectral cultivators back then, his strength was not great. It was only after this incident that the spectral cultivators were completely extinct. It could be said that the root of everything was the Heavenly Demon Grand Formation.
However, the strangest thing was that the Heavenly Demon Grand Formation didn't seem to be able to increase the strength of the spectral cultivators by much. It also did not change the situation. What was the use of the Heavenly Demon Grand Formation? Why did they sacrifice so many lives? Until now, it's still a mystery, no one can say for sure"
Listening to Ning Zifeng's slow explanation, Yang Xuan was even more shocked. He was startled by the madness of these spectral cultivators.
Hundreds of thousands of lives had been burned by them just like that. They had completely become pigs and sheep in the slaughterhouse.
He also understood why spectral cultivators were an absolute taboo in the Great Wei. It would be strange if such a thing was not completely cleaned out after committing such a crime.
The postman also nodded as he listened, and finally said, "There are 700,000 people in Lo Capital, and the Lo Capital army has added another 300,000, a total of one million people."
Yang Xuan's eyes lit up. "At first, 500,000 people were not enough, so this time it has doubled? We must not let them succeed! "
After saying that, Yang Xuan slammed the table and stood up. He first laid down a few layers of grand formation at the door of Lau Hongti's room, and then he felt relieved.
At the same time, in the center of the city, the carpenter and cook stood side by side. Behind them, there were dozens of prisoners in prison uniforms kneeling on the ground, trembling.
"It's time." The carpenter sighed.
"Send them to hell!" Chef chuckled.
