Chapter 2059 Could the deathly stillness be related to the Illusionary Ruins Sea?
As Fengxi spoke, she took out the corpse of the ghost guard, as well as the corpses of two demonic insects.
She bowed to the ghostly guard.
I'm sorry!
Gongsun Qian had no interest in paying attention to her at the moment; his attention was entirely focused on the two demon insect corpses.
He was knowledgeable and recognized it at a glance.
Phantom bug!
Moon-gazing mother-and-child moth!
The phantom worm can indeed become invisible, and the moon-gazing moth, if the mother moth is controlled, can control the people parasitized by the daughter moths.
His face turned even paler!
As the former Right Protector and the one who led the army to invade the Nine Nether Continent, he was not a kind-hearted person; one could say he was ruthless.
But seeing the Alliance Leader's methods of controlling the Ghost Guards still chilled me to the bone.
Thinking back to what Fengxi had said before, and some seemingly insignificant details that suddenly came to mind, a terrifying guess began to emerge.
It's entirely possible that the leader of the alliance has always been the same person.
The so-called successor to the alliance leader is nothing more than a vessel for his possession.
Only certain heretical practitioners would attempt to possess another's body, as this is the most despicable act.
I never expected that their Heavenly Alliance leader had been possessing other people's bodies all along!
His mind was in complete chaos, overwhelmed by fear and helplessness.
Feng Xi took out a pill from her storage ring:
"Senior Uncle, please take this Mind-Nourishing Pill. I'm afraid you'll faint!"
"I'm not trying to be mean, but I can handle it all myself. Why is such a strong and upright hero like you reacting so strongly?"
Gongsun Qian: “…”
He took the pill and swallowed it.
Whether it was the effect of the pills or the stimulation from Fengxi's words, he calmed down.
Fengxi poured him another cup of tea and then said:
"Senior Uncle, there's something else. Back when we were at the Tianyan Dao Sect, we discovered two spies who had also been possessed!"
Then a person shrouded in black robes came and tried to cast a spell to reverse time, but was interrupted by my brother's spirit pet.
I initially suspected it was An Er and his gang, but after testing the waters in the Guixu Secret Realm, I discovered it wasn't them.
Either it's An Yi, or the alliance leader has secretly cultivated other subordinates.
And what about the floating city? How did it just collapse for no reason?
besides……"
At this point, Fengxi slipped another spirit-replenishing pill to Gongsun Qian:
"Eat first, then I'll tell you. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll faint!"
Gongsun Qian glared at her, but still ate.
"Senior Uncle, where does the deathly stillness of our Tianque Continent come from? It can't just spring up on its own, can it?"
When I was at the Tianyan Dao Sect, I read some ancient texts. Back when the Tianyan Dao Sect was at its peak, there was no such thing as the Deathly Stillness Qi!
It was only after the rise of the Heavenly Alliance that the aura of death and desolation appeared.
If the leader of the alliance is always the same person, is there any connection between them?
He kept telling us to conquer the Nine Nether Continent, it felt like he was making us fight like dogs..."
Gongsun Qian, who had been looking serious, was speechless.
He wanted to stand up and pace around, but his legs felt weak, so he could only tap his fingers on the table to help clear his mind.
Fengxi didn't disturb him, but instead took out some snacks and started eating.
She was so busy that day that she didn't even have time to eat!
Commander Liu asked her:
"Aren't you being a bit too reckless? Aren't you afraid that Gongsun Qian will betray you?"
"First, he won't betray me, because if he tells these things to the leader of the Heavenly Alliance, do you think the leader of the Heavenly Alliance will still let him live?"
Secondly, having experienced great ups and downs, he was no longer so blindly loyal to the leader.
Third, like you, he suffered a crushing defeat on the Nine Nether Continent. If a scapegoat can be found, he'll naturally be more inclined to believe that possibility.
Commander Liu: You can talk about him all you want, why are you bringing me up?! I'm asking you a pointless question!
Fengxi sighed: "Master, I have no choice. If we don't hurry, once that old bastard, the Alliance Leader, comes out of seclusion, my room for maneuver will be too small!"
I need to be prepared before he leaves the country; it's too difficult for me to do it all by myself!
Therefore, I need to find a capable helper!
Gongsun Qian is the best candidate. He was once the Right Protector, so he definitely knows more than I do. Moreover, he has high cultivation and people he can command.
Commander Liu thought it made sense; as long as she kept her identity as Fengxi a secret, Gongsun Qian was still reliable.
He couldn't even imagine how devastated Gongsun Qian would be if he found out that Liu Yiyi was Feng Xi one day!
A full half hour later, Gongsun Qian finally spoke:
"Since you guessed that the alliance leader's selection of a successor involved possession, why are you still vying for it?"
Feng Xi said with a smile, "Uncle-Master, when did I say I wanted to be the successor to the Alliance Leader? I said I wanted to be the Alliance Leader!"
Gongsun Qian: “…”
For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise her for her ambition or for her ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth.
“If the leader of the alliance has always been a single person, his cultivation and spiritual sense must be terrifying. You are no different from an ant in front of him.”
"Uncle-Master, that's not necessarily true."
Think about it, why did he go into seclusion, and why was he in such a hurry to choose a successor to the alliance leader?
He must have been impatient!
The reason for the impatience is either a physical problem or a problem with one's consciousness!
When he possesses a body, he will surely be at his last gasp. As long as we are well prepared, we still have a great chance of winning.
Furthermore, if you have sufficient evidence that he was possessed and is related to the Deathly Qi before he emerges from seclusion, I am confident that I can persuade other prominent figures to join me in dealing with him.
"If we work together, we can definitely take him down!"
Gongsun Qian pondered for a moment: "The matter of possession is easy to handle. As long as it is done, there will be traces. The key is how to prove that he is related to the deathly aura."
What if you guess wrong?
Feng Xi's eyes turned cold and sharp: "If we're wrong, then let's make the best of a bad situation! As long as we pin the blame on him firmly, he'll be the target of everyone's criticism!"
Gongsun Qian was startled. This girl was young, but she had more courage than him.
Indeed, Feng Xi from the Nine Nether Continent was about the same age as her, and she also accomplished a remarkable career!
"However, Master Uncle, I don't think I'm wrong! As the saying goes, there must be something fishy about things that are not normal. Even if someone can possess another body, they can't keep possessing bodies forever, right?"
There's definitely something fishy going on with him!
I've heard he often travels to the Illusionary Ruins Sea alone. Normally, why would an alliance leader risk his life alone? He should at least bring a few followers..."
Fengxi was actually improvising, but as she got to this point, she suddenly realized something.
Shishuo Peak was originally in the Illusionary Ruins Sea, as were the Phantom Insects and the Mother-Child Moon-Gazing Moths. The leader of the Heavenly Palace Alliance also frequently visited the Illusionary Ruins Sea...
So, could the deathly stillness be related to the Illusory Ruins Sea?
However, she did not tell Gongsun Qian about this guess; it was not the right time yet.
At this moment, Gongsun Qian frowned and said:
"There are indeed doubts about the Floating City. To enter the array cave of the Floating City silently, one must have the city lord's seal."
There are two seals of the city lord of the Floating City: one is in the hands of City Lord Jiang, and the other is in the hands of the Alliance Leader.
"It's a pity that the fool Lord Jiang lost the City Lord's Seal, otherwise I could have used the fragments of the formation in my hand to verify which seal was used to activate the formation cave most recently."
Fengxi suddenly realized:
"No wonder Lord Jiang said he lost something and asked me to help him calculate it. I was afraid he was trying to extort money, so I didn't agree."
Later, he asked Vice Sect Master Qiu to calculate it for him, but unfortunately, he couldn't figure it out.
So they lost the city lord's seal!
If I had known this would happen, I would have searched the ruins of the city lord's mansion thoroughly; maybe I would have found it!
"How hateful that all I found were three crooked teapots, two chairs with missing legs, and a smashed washbasin..."
Gongsun Qian: “…”
You really know how to manage your finances!
