#878 - Huo Tianyang
Without a doubt, after eavesdropping on the conversation of the Nine Truths Sect members, Wei Changtian understood that there was no need to capture anyone for interrogation.
These people were only acting on the orders of the Nine Truths Sect Leader, and they knew nothing more than that.
Therefore, even if they were captured and interrogated, it was unlikely that anything could be gained, so it was better not to alert the enemy.
However, Wei Changtian's trip tonight was not in vain, as he did obtain some information.
The Nine Truths Sect Leader...
Leaving the courtyard, on the way to the Tiangou Army camp outside the city, Wei Changtian racked his brains for a long time but could not recall any information about this person.
Not only had he never heard of him in reality, but he was not mentioned in "Martial Arts Grand Pinnacle" either.
And this meant that he had no prior contact with this person.
If we also consider that the other six assassins, although not from the Nine Truths Sect, still participated in the action... without a doubt, the real mastermind must be someone else.
And this person's "energy" is very great, possibly even the most powerful "big shot" he has encountered so far.
As for who he actually is...
Wei Changtian had guessed it was Chu Xianping, and even wondered if it could be Xu Sui Sui.
But if they wanted to help him, they wouldn't use such a roundabout method.
More importantly, neither of these two people possessed such "omnipotence", at least not the kind of power that could be described as controlling the heavens in Daqian.
With such power, according to Wei Changtian's current understanding, it seemed that only Kui Long could do it.
Kui Long!
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian couldn't help but frown.
Which branch of Kui Long was Daqian under?
It didn't seem to be Yan Huanwen's Bing Yi, nor Zhuang Zhiming's Bing San... Forget it, I'll ask the remnant soul in the Xuantian Sword when I have time.
Besides, the mysterious person may not necessarily be from Kui Long...
While hurrying on his way, thinking about the events of tonight, Wei Changtian arrived at the Tiangou Army camp outside the city after about half an hour.
Li Zimu had arrived here early to wait, in order to have a safe place to interrogate people.
And when she saw Wei Changtian return empty-handed, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Young Master, did you fail?"
"I didn't make a move."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian waved his hand to signal the soldiers in the tent to leave, and then recounted what had happened.
After listening, Li Zimu's expression did not change much, she just thoughtfully analyzed:
"Young Master, whoever this person is, there must be a purpose for doing this."
"On the surface, he should not want Young Master to make peace with Daqian, and would prefer that you fight each other to the death, so that he can benefit from it."
"If you think this way, this person is Young Master's enemy."
"However..."
"However, he may also be helping me."
Wei Changtian nodded, continuing:
"I was wondering what reason to use to coerce Su Qi into tricking Qing from Jing to Linchuan, and it just so happened that this incident occurred."
"If it wasn't a coincidence, then this person deliberately did this at the right time."
"Yes, that's what this servant thinks."
Li Zimu said softly:
"It's difficult to say for sure now, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the Nine Truths Sect to find out."
"Nine Truths Sect?"
Rubbing his forehead, Wei Changtian didn't say he would go, nor did he say he wouldn't go.
He was still quite hesitant now.
On the one hand, if he wanted to find out the identity of this mysterious person, the Nine Truths Sect Leader was the only clue at the moment.
Li Zimu didn't say anything more upon hearing this, and after leaving the tent for a short time, she led a Daqian deserter back.
"Young Master, this person is said to have been a disciple of the Nine Truths Sect, and is quite familiar with the affairs of the sect."
"Mm."
Raising his eyes to look at the somewhat nervous soldier, Wei Changtian casually asked: "What's your name?"
"R-Returning, Returning Young Master."
The soldier swallowed, stammering: "S-Small, Small man is called Liu Hu."
"Oh, Liu Hu, is it."
Wei Changtian nodded: "Next, I will ask you something, and you will answer something, if you don't know, just say you don't know, do you understand?"
"U-Understood..."
"."
Over the next quarter of an hour, Wei Changtian basically understood the situation of the Nine Truths Sect.
The Nine Truths Sect, the largest sect in Daqian, its mountain gate is located in Kangjiang Prefecture, Daqian, about two thousand miles away from Linchuan.
Including its leader, the Nine Truths Sect has a total of four Second-Rank experts, its strength can be described as luxurious.
You must know that although there are many sects in Da Ning and Da Shu, it is already very remarkable to have one Second-Rank expert in a sect, and no sect has ever had two or more Second-Rank experts.
But the Nine Truths Sect has four, which is undoubtedly very exaggerated.
Moreover, its leader, Huo Tianyang, is also the well-deserved number one person in Daqian.
Huo Tianyang...
Wei Changtian had no impression of this name at all, once again verifying that he had no prior contact with this person.
However, one thing that the soldier named Liu Hu mentioned casually aroused Wei Changtian's attention.
It is said that Huo Tianyang was not the leader of the Nine Truths Sect before, nor was he very powerful.
But just over two years ago, his strength suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, not only breaking through the Second-Rank realm that had bound him for more than ten years, but even continuing to rise, soaring from the early Second-Rank to the late Second-Rank in just one year.
Of course, this speed is still insignificant compared to Wei Changtian.
But looking at the whole world, it is unheard of.
Moreover, not only did his realm soar, but the strength displayed by Huo Tianyang could also crush opponents of the same realm, even the old leader of the Nine Truths Sect was no match for him.
In simple terms, he was invincible in Daqian.
And so, Huo Tianyang smoothly took over the Nine Truths Sect and became the twenty-eighth leader of the Nine Truths Sect.
And is the strongest person in the Nine Truths Sect since its establishment...
Huo Tianyang's "history of success" sounds like nothing at first glance, it must be that he obtained some great opportunity two years ago, which is why this happened.
Although Huo Tianyang has never told anyone the reason, everyone thinks so.
Including Wei Changtian, who only heard about this for the first time today, it is the same.
The only thing is that this time point is too coincidental.
Two years ago, wasn't that when he killed Xiao Feng, then the system was updated, and thirteen Sons of Heaven "appeared out of thin air"?
With Huo Tianyang's "development speed", he is too much like a Son of Heaven.
But the list given by the system does not have him.
Daqian only has one Son of Heaven, which is Xu Quan.
Could it be that Huo Tianyang is a pseudonym? Did he come to Daqian after becoming a Son of Heaven?
That's not right, according to Liu Hu, Huo Tianyang has always been in the Nine Truths Sect, but he was just an elder before...
"What does your leader look like? What weapon does he use? How old is he?"
After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian asked the soldier in front of him again: "Tell me everything you know about him in detail."
"Yes."
The man named Liu Hu racked his brains for a while, and then whispered:
"Young Master, the leader should be nearly seventy years old this year, he uses a sword, what does he look like..."
"."
Soon, Liu Hu said a lot about Huo Tianyang's situation, but Wei Changtian didn't hear anything unusual again.
Until the former suddenly remembered something at a certain moment—
"That's right, the leader once had an adopted son, who seemed to be an orphan, brought back by the leader when he went out to do errands more than ten years ago."
"It's a pity that this son also died of illness just two years ago..."
