Chapter 275 The Mastermind

Wan Yin looked at Fang Yue approaching step by step, her heart filled with fear and despair.

She knew that she had no way to retreat and could not escape the control of this terrible man.

Her body trembled involuntarily, and a trace of fear and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

She once thought that her plan was perfect and she could easily lure Fang Yue into the trap and then put him to death.

However, she did not expect Fang Yue to be so vigilant and smart. He not only saw through her plan, but also killed her men.

Now, she has become a turtle in a jar, at the mercy of others.

"I... I..."

Wan Yin stuttered, her voice full of trembling and fear, "I am a member of the court..."

Finally, under the strong pressure of Fang Yue, Wan Yin had to confess her identity.

She knew that she had no way out and could only hope that Fang Yue would let her go.

However, Fang Yue did not intend to let her go.

He sneered and said, "The imperial court? At this time, you still don't tell the truth? Do you really think I can't bear to kill you!"

Wan Yin heard this and felt even more terrified. She knew that she had become a prisoner of Fang Yue, and her life and death were completely in his hands.

"I am really from the imperial court! You blocked the way, and someone wanted to kill you, so." Wan Yin said anxiously.

Fang Yue was promoted too quickly. Besides, Fang Yue previously disclosed the members of the Shadow Society hidden in the Si Tian Jian. Although the Si Tian Jian eradicated the heretics inside, it also offended the high-level officials of the imperial court.

In addition, Fang Yue also had irreconcilable conflicts with the Great Wei Dynasty's worship department.

So, someone above wanted to eradicate Fang Yue.

Wan Yin's anxious words stopped abruptly, and she stared at Fang Yue nervously, waiting for his reaction.

She knew that everything she said was true, but she also understood that in front of this man, the truth might not save her life.

Fang Yue's eyes swept back and forth on Wan Yin's face, as if judging the authenticity of her words.

He knew that he had many enemies in the court, especially some people in the Imperial Observatory and the Worship Office, who had always wanted to kill him.

And the appearance of Wan Yin undoubtedly provided him with an opportunity to understand the enemy's movements.

"You said you were from the court, who ordered you to kill me?" Fang Yue asked coldly, revealing an unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Wan Yin hesitated for a moment, she knew that once she revealed the mastermind behind the scenes, she would probably no longer have any use value.

But the current situation did not allow her to think too much, in order to survive, she could only confess the truth.

"It's... it's Lord Liu from the Imperial Observatory and Li Gongfeng from the Worship Office..." Wan Yin said in a trembling voice, "They think you are blocking their way, so they want to get rid of you..."

Fang Yue listened to Wan Yin's confession and sneered in his heart.

He had long expected that his enemies in the court would not give up, and now his guess has indeed been verified.

Lord Liu of the Imperial Observatory and Li Gongfeng of the Worship Department, these two people have high status in the court. They are trying to deal with him together, which is indeed a big trouble.

However, Fang Yue is not afraid of them.

Since he can see through Wan Yin's plan and kill her men, it is his turn to make a move.

Passive defense is not Fang Yue's style. He knows his situation well and understands that only by taking the initiative can he break this passive situation.

He sneered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he had made a decision.

"What else do they have?"

Wan Yin was shocked by Fang Yue's sneer and trembled all over. She felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.

She understood that she was now completely under Fang Yue's control, and life and death were only a matter of his thoughts.

"He and they have other plans."

Wan Yin stuttered, she did not dare to hide anything, for fear that Fang Yue would take her life in a moment of impatience.

~~~~~~~~

After a while, Fang Yue left the house.

In the end, he did not kill Wan Yin, but only used his energy to mess up her brain, causing her to temporarily lose her memory.

Doing so would not only ensure that Wan Yin would not reveal his whereabouts, but also give her a glimmer of hope.

After all, if she really lost her memory, she would no longer be a threat to anyone, and she might be able to escape.

Fang Yue walked out of the house, and the cool night breeze blew on his clothes.

He knew that the next move would be very dangerous, but he was not afraid at all.

He knew that he had to take the initiative to break this passive situation and take the initiative.

He looked up at the starry sky, his heart full of determination and determination.

He knew that this struggle had just begun, and he had to be fully prepared to be able to deal with the more intense competition that followed.

~~~~~~

The next day, the sun rose.

Fang Yue, dressed in black, quietly came to a military camp a hundred miles east of the city of Gunzhou.

This military camp was large in scale, with flags flying, and the soldiers were well-trained. It was obviously an elite division.

Fang Yue came here for a more important purpose.

He sneaked into the military camp, quietly avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and finally came to a big tent deep in the military camp.

The big tent was heavily guarded and was obviously the residence of an important figure in the army.

Fang Yue stuck to the tent and listened to the movement inside.

He could clearly hear the conversation coming from inside, and one of the people was the Lord Liu of the Sitianjian mentioned by Wanyin last night.

"Li Gongfeng, how are your preparations going?" Lord Liu's voice revealed a hint of urgency.

"Don't worry, Lord Liu. I have mobilized the elites of the Gongfeng Office. As long as Fang Yue shows up, he will never come back." Li Gongfeng's voice was full of confidence.

Considering this kid is very capable, he was besieged by the Blood Dragon Platform and Shadow Gray, but he was able to escape with his life. However, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't escape from our palm this time!" Lord Liu's voice revealed a strong murderous intent.

~~~~~

Hearing this, Fang Yue's eyes became colder and colder, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Sure enough, these two people are the masterminds, but since they dare to come to Gunzhou Prefecture, they are unlucky. At this moment, the Blood Dragon Platform and Shadow Society thieves in Gunzhou Prefecture are rampant, and if a few more high-ranking officials of the court die, they are also being cleaned up. "

Fang Yue stood up immediately, and then circulated his vital energy, and the God of War Art and Dark Shining Golden Body were activated at the same time.

As the God of War Art was activated, the vital energy around Fang Yue surged like a tide, and dark golden light shone from his body, as if a golden god of war had descended to the mortal world.

The power of the Dark Shining Golden Body made his muscles tense, and every nerve was filled with explosive power.

His figure flashed like a ghost, and he broke through the entrance of the tent in an instant, like a lightning bolt that broke through the silence of the military camp.

"Who?" Lord Liu and Li Gongsheng were shocked. They didn't notice Fang Yue's approach at all, and didn't react until this moment.

But Fang Yue didn't give them any chance to react. He was like the wind, and he came to Lord Liu in an instant, punching him in the face.

Although Lord Liu was also a master of cultivating vital energy, he seemed so vulnerable in front of Fang Yue.

He raised his hands in a hurry to resist, but Fang Yue's fist was as heavy as a mountain, and directly smashed his defense.

"Bang! "

With a dull thud, Lord Liu's entire body flew backwards as if hit by a huge hammer, and hit the wall of the tent heavily.

He spurted blood from his mouth, and his eyes were full of fear and despair.

Li Gongfeng was shocked when he saw this, and he moved his body, trying to escape from this terrifying man.

But Fang Yue was faster than him, and grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up alive.

"You...what do you want to do?" Li Gongfeng screamed in fear, his feet kicked wildly in the air, but he couldn't get rid of Fang Yue's iron hand.

Fang Yue looked at him coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes. He circulated his vitality and slapped Li Gongfeng's chest with one palm.

"Bang! "

Another muffled sound, Li Gongfeng's chest collapsed instantly, his eyes widened, blood spurted out of his mouth, and then the whole person hung limply on Fang Yue's hand.

Fang Yue casually threw Li Gongfeng's body aside, and then glanced coldly at the other soldiers around him.

Those soldiers had long been intimidated by Fang Yue's power, and at this moment they were all silent, not even daring to breathe.

Fang Yue knew that these soldiers were just innocent pawns, and the real mastermind had been killed by him.

He didn't want to kill innocent people, so he didn't do anything to these soldiers.

He turned and walked out of the tent and left the barracks immediately.

At the same time, the barracks A burst of urgent horns sounded in the middle, and then teams of fully armed soldiers rushed out of the barracks, searching for Fang Yue's traces everywhere.

However, Fang Yue had already gone far away at this time.

~~~~~

After leaving the barracks, Fang Yue found a hidden place, changed his black clothes, changed his appearance, and sneaked into the city of Gunzhou again.

He knew that although Lord Liu and Li Gongfeng had been executed, the storm was far from over.

The enemies in the court would not give up, and they would definitely send people to hunt him down again.

Moreover, the remnants of the Blood Dragon Platform and the Shadow Society were still lurking in the city and could launch new attacks at any time.

Fang Yue knew in his heart that he must You must be careful and not be careless.

He quietly came to a busy market in the city and mingled with the crowd.

People came and went in the market, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining rose and fell, forming a vivid and real secular picture.

Fang Yue's eyes swept through the crowd, as sharp as a hawk, not missing any suspicious details.

Although it seemed calm on the surface, Fang Yue knew that there must be undercurrents under this calm.

After confirming that no one had discovered his trace, Fang Yue came to the secret contact point of the Sitianjian again.

Fang Yue came to the secret contact point of the Sitianjian, which was a hidden house deep in the market.

The house looked ordinary and was different from the surrounding The house is like a residential building, but it is full of mysteries and complex mechanisms and secret passages.

Fang Yue walked through the secret doors with ease and finally came to a secret room.

This secret room is the intelligence center of the Sitianjian in Gunzhou Prefecture. It is filled with various files and secret reports, recording the secrets of Gunzhou Prefecture and even the entire Wei Dynasty.

Fang Yue came here to check the files and find out the information of the two adults he killed.

After all, these two people are just executors, and there are people behind them.

Fang Yue sat in front of a desk in the middle of the secret room. There was a dim oil lamp on the table. The light swayed, stretching his shadow long and casting it on the wall of the secret room.

He was not in a relaxed mood. Although he had just successfully killed Lord Liu and Li Gongfeng, he knew that this was only the calm before the storm.

The enemy's counterattack could come at any time, and the force would definitely be more fierce.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm the waves in his heart, and then began to carefully read the files on the table.

These files recorded the intelligence collected by the Sitianjian over the years, including some secrets of the court's high-level officials.

Fang Yue knew that if he wanted to find clues about the mastermind, he had to unravel these intelligence.

His eyes quickly swept through the dense handwriting, but he was constantly thinking and analyzing in his heart.

Every name, every event, and every detail could be the key to uncovering the truth.

As time passed, Fang Yue soon discovered the clues.

He was sure that his guess was correct. Lord Liu and Li Gongfeng were also just executors. The real mastermind was indeed someone else.

Duke Dingguo, Wei Chengliang.

Duke Dingguo, Wei Chengliang-this name stirred up thousands of waves in Fang Yue's heart.

He had seen this powerful Duke Dingguo at a ceremony in the court. He was an unfathomable figure. He seemed amiable on the surface, but there was always an elusive light in his eyes.

Fang Yue continued to look through the files and found that Wei Chengliang had a thousand connections with Lord Liu and Li Gongfeng.

Although these connections were hidden, they could not escape Fang Yue's sharp eyes.

He gradually pieced together a complete conspiracy picture, which was directed at himself and might even involve a broader power struggle in the court.

At this moment, Fang Yue's heart was full of anger and chill.

He knew that he had been involved in a life-and-death contest, and if he was not careful, he might be doomed.

"I obviously have no connection with this person, but he wants to kill me!"

Fang Yue's eyes were gloomy. After all, this Duke Chengguo was usually powerful in the Wei Dynasty, and his own cultivation was extremely high. He was a top master who was not inferior to King Wucheng.

Being targeted by such a person, I'm afraid it's not just because he exposed the conspiracy of the Shadow Society last time.

There must be other reasons.

"Could it be because of Zhu Linlang!"

While thinking about this, Fang Yue saw a familiar name in the file, Zhu Linlang, who had had physical contact with him.

Zhu Linlang, the daughter of the current King of Han of the Great Wei Dynasty, is also the fiancée of the eldest son of Wei Chengliang, the Duke of Dingguo.

Seeing this name, Fang Yue's heart suddenly surged with a complex emotion.

Although there was no deep emotional entanglement between him and Zhu Linlang, the short period of getting along left an indelible mark in his heart.
