The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"Yi Ming, you evil creature! You... cough, as a member of the Zhengyang Sect, as a righteous person, how can you be in the same boat with a mere ghost!"

Jin Yangzi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, propped himself up and stood still, his face looking horrifyingly pale.

"Brother Yi, how could he do that?"

"He has turned to the evil spirits, so we are..."

"We still have the Sect Master. Don't worry. The Sect Master will protect us."

At this moment, the disciples behind him gradually recovered from the impact, supported each other and stood up, each with worried expressions on their faces.

"Master, you and the brothers behind you are from the same sect, you are from the Zhengyang Sect, but what about me? As someone who has been scheduled to sacrifice his life by the entire sect, do you consider me a disciple of the sect?"

Yi Ming stood beside the evil ghost. Hearing the bell ring, he knew You Mu was going to move forward, so he raised his hand to support the arm that was coming over. In his mouth, he responded to Jin Yangzi's accusation.

"As a chess piece, Yi Ming also wants to find a way out for himself."

“…Ah? What are you talking about, Brother Yi? Sacrifice, chess piece? I don’t understand.”

"I don't understand. I don't understand..."

"Is he saying that the master is not teaching him sincerely?"

Although Yi Ming's interpersonal relationships in the sect were not very good, hearing Yi Ming's words inevitably caused the disciples in the sect to talk to each other.

"Nonsense! Don't say such wild words to confuse everyone. Your master has never harmed you!" He knew in his heart that Yi Ming probably knew all this already. His plan failed. Jin Yangzi thought to himself that this was not good and tried to stop the other party from speaking.

"Master, why are you so anxious to interrupt me? What are you afraid of? Are you worried that the dirty secrets of the sect for many years will be exposed in one fell swoop, or are you worried that the Soul-Suppressing Tower that you have been guarding so tightly will reveal some secrets?"

"You know exactly why the Qi family was slaughtered and why the Zhengyang Sect was being hunted down. Why do you have to hide it from your fellow disciples? Since you are from the same sect and are a family, why not just speak openly? After all, you don't have much time left."

Yi Ming is no longer the protagonist who is kept in the dark and manipulated by others.

Every word of the inquiry hit the lifeblood of the Zhengyang Sect. Jin Yangzi could clearly sense that the elders of the surrounding sects had become unpredictable, as if the balance of trust had been tipped by Yi Ming's questioning.

"Asshole, traitor! Why do you have to make up so many unfounded excuses? Everyone, today is a misfortune for our Zhengyang Sect. Such a shameful thing has happened. Please forgive me. I will definitely help you to eliminate this evil ghost. Jin Yangzi is here to apologize to you all!"

"Master, you are too polite. I came here for only one purpose."

After all, it was the reputation and financial strength of the Zhengyang Sect that supported the trust of other sects in Jinyangzi. In addition, some sects might not have been completely uninvolved in the events of the Soul-Calming Tower.

[Why did you drag the NPC here?] In the corner, the four people playing cards saw Baimao coming back and dragging the fainted elder of the Fangyi faction over.

[I have carefully read the background biography. The Fang faction should have no grudges against the villains. This NPC is very nice to me. I don't want him to die.]

Baimao chuckled and helped the old man lean against the tree trunk. When he turned around, four pairs of eyes were looking at him, which made Baimao feel very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but press the pop-up window to speak.

【Why are you all looking at me? 】

[Ah... nothing, come on, continue playing cards. ]

Although the elders of the sect have expressed their opinions, they are all shrewd people. Unless Jin Yangzi takes action, they will not be the first to take action.

The most powerful knife in his hand ran away, and the disciples behind him suffered backlash because their formation was broken. Jin Yangzi had no choice but to take action himself.

As his sleeves fluttered, he took out a talisman, picked it up with two fingers, cut a bloody mark between his eyebrows, and dripped the blood from his eyebrows onto the talisman.

"All spirits in the world, please let the heavens hear your voice. We are urgently calling on the powerful celestial beings to come and help the younger generation!"

The inscription was stained with blood, instantly dyeing the obscure spell blood red, and the talisman paper was blown away in the wind. Dark clouds covered the sun, and a strong wind suddenly came, and the power of thunder and lightning appeared in the clouds.

The only ray of clear sky above the Zhengyang Sect was completely covered up following Jin Yangzi's summons.

[Fuck, this Jin Yangzi seems to have some strength.]

[Calling the wind and calling the rain, that's pretty awesome. 】

[Can our villains win? ]

The dragon flew through the clouds like lightning, and the circular magic circle that Jin Yangzi had temporarily set up under his feet suddenly glowed.

"You are Duan Yangzi."

Suddenly, the villain stared at the dark clouds in the sky, looked at the familiar magic circle under Jin Yangzi's feet, and said these words.

Jin Yangzi said nothing, gathering his strength to set up a formation to summon the true immortal to appear. Upon hearing this, his brows trembled violently.

[Duan Yangzi? Who is this? ]

[Fuck, this is even more exciting. The great master Duan Yangzi has been dead for many years. If Jin Yangzi is Duan Yangzi... it's terrifying to think about it! ]

[It's scary even if you think about it! ]

"You relied on evil magic to occupy Jin Yangzi's body, and relied on the Soul-Calming Tower to provide supplies to stabilize your soul and body. After I destroyed the Soul-Calming Tower, you lost the source of your pain. Your soul gradually weakened, and your voice became more and more old."

"How many people did you kill to be able to maintain your youthful appearance?"

"Although your disguise is very good, only Duan Yangzi would use such a summoning array."

At first, You Mu was almost deceived by Duan Yangzi. He was wearing the skin of Jin Yangzi and had indeed lived a long time. In addition, they were of the same clan and had similar words and deeds. It was not until this moment, when he saw the summoning array that Duan Yangzi often used, that You Mu confirmed his guess.

"No wonder." Yi Ming touched the demon pill on his sleeve, and his previous doubts were explained at this moment.

[If Jinyangzi is Duanyangzi, then everything before makes sense! So that's how it is! ]

[What do you know about the previous one? Tell us quickly! ]

[Remember our discussion before, why they had to kill the protagonist after using him? I mentioned my two guesses before, one was to cover up the truth, and the other was that I was not sure whether I could completely kill the villain and needed a sacrifice. Now it seems that they are not completely right! It turns out that the game has such a big secret buried deep inside. ]

[If the soul of Duan Yangzi is hidden in Jin Yangzi's body, as the villain said, if he wants to maintain immortality, he needs to use evil magic and spend a lot of money to replenish it. Without the Soul-Calming Tower, the villain has to bear the pain, so he needs fresh blood to keep his body young.]

[Jin Yangzi wants to use the protagonist's fresh flesh and blood as a sacrifice, which can not only suppress the villain's resentment, but also help stabilize his body. As mentioned earlier, the protagonist's fate is Yang, which should be an excellent supply for Jin Yangzi. In other words, Jin Yangzi wants to use the protagonist as the second villain, and even make his fate worse than the villain's. ]

[…So vicious, so disgusting! ]

[Seeking immortality? Is it interesting to live forever? ]

[Ugh, no, I feel like throwing up when I see Jin Yangzi's face. I actually thought he was pretty handsome before, but I didn't expect Xinzi to be such a disgusting old thing.]

The evil ghost's words were loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Seeing that Jin Yangzi did not refute immediately and the other party's eyes became more gloomy, the elders around him could not help but move away.

Such a shocking thing actually happened to the leader of the righteous path...

"...I haven't seen Elder Xu recently...Ever since that time when Elder Xu met the Sect Master...Is he...Is he..."

Among the crowd, a disciple spoke tremblingly, and his back could not stop feeling cold.

Even though they were in Zhengyang Sect and didn't want to believe the evil ghost's words, this evil ghost had indeed been suppressed in the Soul-Suppressing Tower before, and had stayed in Zhengyang Sect for much longer than them. Combined with what Yi Ming said before, this made all the disciples think along the lines of what they said.

Once a crack appears in trust, it will expand into an unfillable gap without any tearing.

Jinyangzi was met with suspicion and fear.

"Humph! So what if it is, so what if it isn't, you will all die at my hands today!"

Jin Yangzi raised his hand to gather strength, and the talisman floated out, directly blocking several elders who were trying to move away from his side, pulling them back and throwing them onto the formation at his feet.
