Chapter 2058 It seems we have to take a risk.
Gongsun Qian scrutinized Feng Xi for a few moments: "Do you think I would help you?"
Feng Xi replied crisply, "Yes!"
Gongsun Qian: "...Why?"
"You are a hidden dragon in the abyss, while I am trapped in a desperate situation. If you give me a push and I pull you back, we can meet at the summit!"
Besides, we're such good friends, if you don't help me, who will?!
Gongsun Qian burst into laughter!
What he admired most about Liu Yiyi was her clarity and insight.
Speaking of Feng Xi, it's the same story. Otherwise, he wouldn't have trusted her so much back then, and then...
Thinking of Fengxi, he became even more determined to push Liu Yiyi to the top!
Only if the successor to the alliance leader is one of his own will his position in the Heavenly Palace Alliance be secure, and only then will he have the opportunity to seek revenge against Feng Xi!
Fengxi brought out a pot of fresh tea and helped Gongsun Qian change his teacup, filling it to about eight-tenths full.
Gongsun Qian felt increasingly at ease.
"Since we've come this far, I, as your senior brother, will say whatever comes to mind."
Even if you don't say it, I still want to help you win the position of the alliance leader's successor.
You have an advantage in every aspect now; your only disadvantage is your identity.
The first step is to find a way to get you into the Heavenly Alliance, and then find a way to become a candidate for the alliance leader.
Originally, we would have needed to lay some groundwork, but now that you've become Master Liu's disciple and gained fame today, things are much easier.
Once the alliance leader emerges from seclusion, I will begin to handle this matter…
Fengxi thought to herself, "By the time the Alliance Leader comes out of seclusion, it will be too late!"
It seems we have to take a risky gamble!
She lowered her voice: "Uncle-Master, is it safe for us to talk now? Could we be eavesdropped on?"
Gongsun Qian laughed and said, "With my cultivation level, no one in the Heavenly Palace Alliance has ever eavesdropped under my nose."
Fengxi pointed to the roof: "And what about above the eyelids?"
Gongsun Qian: "...Stop being naughty, what are you trying to say?"
Feng Xi glanced around furtively before asking in an even lower voice:
"Senior Uncle, I heard that all those Shadow Guards have had their divine sense imprints planted by the Alliance Leader. Are you the same?"
Gongsun Qian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly:
"Before I went to the Nine Nether Continent, the Alliance Leader planted a divine consciousness imprint in my sea of consciousness. After my defeat, needless to say, the part of my primordial spirit that was projected has already been scattered."
After the Alliance Leader used my physical body's divine sense imprint to read the relevant memories, the imprint became somewhat blurry, so the Alliance Leader simply withdrew it.
I guess I no longer need him to monitor me...
"Uncle-Master, from what you're saying, it sounds like you're actually quite disappointed? Could it be that you'd rather have your every move monitored?"
Gongsun Qian: “…”
Is that what I care about? What I care about is being ignored by the alliance leader!
"Senior Uncle, you said that so many people in the Shadow Guard Camp have had their divine sense imprinted by the Alliance Leader, not to mention those who went to the Nine Nether Continent before, who were also imprinted with their divine sense. The Alliance Leader's divine sense is too powerful!"
Gongsun Qian said with awe, "What you say is true. The Alliance Leader's divine sense is extremely powerful, far beyond what we can compare to!"
Feng Xi asked casually, "Have all the previous leaders of our Heavenly Palace Alliance been this powerful?"
"According to the records, this should be the case, because each leader of the alliance would plant a divine imprint on the Shadow Guards."
Feng Xi's eyes darted around: "Uncle-Master, do you think there's some secret technique after becoming the Alliance Leader? Otherwise, how come all the Alliance Leaders have such powerful divine senses?"
Gongsun Qian casually replied, "Maybe!"
Fengxi furtively looked around again, activating eighteen isolation array plates, before transmitting her voice into the secret passage:
"Uncle-Master, I have something very important to tell you. Do you dare to listen?"
Gongsun Qian: "...Stop keeping me in suspense!"
Fengxi handed the Venerable Killer's notes to Gongsun Qian: "Uncle-Master, these are the Venerable Killer's cultivation insights given to me. Please take a look!"
Although Gongsun Qian was puzzled, he still read it through quickly.
With his current cultivation level, the cultivation insights of the Venerable Killer were of no use to him, and after looking at them for a long time, he couldn't find anything of value.
What do you want me to see?
"You see, the Venerable Killer mentioned something in there. He said that all the previous leaders of the alliance were very young when they took office. What do you think about that?"
Gongsun Qian laughed and said, "What's so strange about that? I guess the old alliance leader wasn't in a hurry to train a successor when he was alive..."
His smile froze on his face.
Given his status, position, and experience, he naturally noticed the problem.
It's understandable if one or two people die suddenly or for other reasons and there's no rush to train a successor, but if all of them are like that, then there's a problem.
Besides, the leader of the Heavenly Alliance must be trained and experienced in advance; how can they be put through the wringer after they've already been chosen?!
He then thought of this batch of alliance leader candidates, who had only been selected in the last ten years or so.
Especially recently, the pace has noticeably quickened, and there's even been some impatience.
It's as if they're in a rush!
Why is that?
Fengxi handed him the teacup: "Uncle-Master, please have some tea to calm your nerves."
Gongsun Qian really needed a cup of tea to calm his mind.
He downed his tea in one gulp and looked at Fengxi: "Did you discover something?"
Fengxi glanced around furtively again, leaving Gongsun Qian speechless.
"Alright, go ahead and say it. I'm sure no one can eavesdrop."
Fengxi then secretly asked, "Uncle-Master, do you know how the Ghost Guards are trained?"
Gongsun Qian was taken aback: "I don't know about that. You know how secretive the Shadow Guard Camp is; I can't get involved."
Fengxi's voice turned cold:
"Two kinds of demonic insects parasitize the Ghost Guardian's body. Although I don't know their names, I can guess that one of them can help the Ghost Guardian become invisible, and the other kind of demonic insect is easy for the Alliance Leader to control."
Gongsun Qian's expression changed drastically: "How did you know?"
Fengxi chuckled twice: "A few days ago, we went to the Shadow Guard Camp for a stroll. To avoid being tracked down by the Wind Department and the Fire Department, the ten of us went to the Ghost Guard's lair to impersonate the Ghost Guards!"
You wouldn't believe it, those ghostly guards hung there like cocoons, neither human nor insect, it gave me the creeps.
The day I came back, I had a nightmare in which the leader of the alliance possessed Lan Zhi and became neither male nor female.
Then I remembered the Killer of the Venerable's notes, and a very chilling guess came to me: do you think all the previous Alliance Leaders might have been born from the same core?
Gongsun Qian quickly covered her mouth!
In fact, the two were communicating telepathically, so this was completely unnecessary.
However, this also shows how terrifying Gongsun Qian found Fengxi's guess to be!
Gongsun Qian's face was deathly pale, and his hands were trembling slightly.
"Uncle-Master, I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, so I brought you the Ghost Guard's corpse and even dissected it for you. Take a look!"
Gongsun Qian: “…”
