#888 - First step of the plan

Facing the "uninvited" Wei Changtian, the four members of the Nine Truths Sect had already guessed that the former needed to use them to do something.

Otherwise, they would not be alive and standing here at all.

Obviously, the four of them were completely convinced that Wei Changtian dared to kill them, and could kill them.

Therefore, if they wanted to survive now, they naturally couldn't say half a "no".

"Young Master Wei."

Taking a deep look at Wei Changtian, the yellow-robed elder had now regained his composure.

His tone was no longer flustered, but it couldn't be considered neither humble nor arrogant, only slightly nervous as he asked:

"Do you want to know who was behind yesterday's events?"

"I already know that."

Wei Changtian smiled and casually replied, "Isn't it your sect leader?"

"."

Looking at each other, the four people's eyes became shocked for a moment.

However, before they could recover, they heard Wei Changtian continue to say:

"But in fact, the real mastermind is not him."

"Or rather, Huo Tianyang is just being instructed by someone else."

"I think you have already guessed this, haven't you?"

"This..."

Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the yellow-robed elder probably couldn't figure out how Wei Changtian knew these things.

But that's not important now, what's important is...

"Wei, Young Master Wei, you want to..."

"That's right, I want to find out who this person is."

Wei Changtian slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly:

"So I need your help."

"As long as you agree, I will not pursue yesterday's matter, and the benefits I give you will definitely not be less than what that person gave you."

"But if you don't agree, or if you have any insincere actions in the future, you don't need me to say what the consequences will be."

"Think about it carefully."

"."

The tea fragrance was mellow, and a few emerald green tender leaves swirled in the cup.

Wei Changtian put the teacup back in place and stopped talking, his expression still very calm.

The four people standing in front of him swallowed subconsciously at the same time, their hearts caught in endless entanglement.

But if they didn't agree, they wouldn't have to wait until "the future", they would die now...

"Wei, Young Master Wei, we agree."

Silently exchanging glances, the yellow-robed elder finally gave what seemed to be the only answer after a dozen breaths.

Perhaps he was thinking of saving his life first, and then considering which side to stand on in the future.

But how could Wei Changtian give him this opportunity.

"Good, since you agree, then take this pill."

"Whoosh!"

With a wave of his hand, four small jade bottles shot out from his sleeve.

The four people hurriedly reached out to catch them, already understanding that the bottles contained poison specifically used to control others.

"Da, Big Brother..."

Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, three of them turned their heads to look at the yellow-robed elder with slight hesitation.

The latter didn't speak, but stared at Wei Changtian for a long time, then slowly poured the puppet pill in the bottle into his palm, and then suddenly swallowed it.

"."

Seeing the yellow-robed elder take the pill first, the other three understood that there was no other choice at this moment, no matter what they thought in their hearts.

Therefore, the three of them quickly gritted their teeth and swallowed this black pill that could determine their life and death, and completely changed their fate from then on.

The mysterious aura appeared and disappeared, but after two or three breaths, everything returned to normal.

Taking the puppet pill did not cause any pain, but at this time, the expressions of the four people were somewhat unspeakably bitter.

Wei Changtian only used a few words to turn the last struggle and guilt in their hearts into nothing.

"The four seniors can rest assured."

"Since you have taken the pill, I will protect you from harm in the future."

"And if nothing unexpected happens, the Nine Truths Sect will be yours in at most a month."

"."

His eyes suddenly widened, how could the four people not understand the meaning of this sentence.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the painful look on their faces completely disappeared, replaced by a kind of excitement that was somewhat "betting it all".

"Young Master, I wonder what we should do next?"

His tone was no longer hesitant, and his voice became a little firmer.

The yellow-robed elder changed his previous appearance and asked respectfully: "We really don't know why the sect leader... no, Huo Tianyang wanted to kill you, and we don't know who is behind him."

"But I think this person must be a big shot, may I ask what method you plan to use to find out his identity?"

"There's no rush for this."

Slowly standing up, Wei Changtian said with a smile: "Four seniors, before that, you have another thing to do."

"Another thing?"

The yellow-robed elder was slightly stunned, and immediately responded: "Just give the order, Young Master!"

"Yes."

Wei Changtian nodded slightly and turned to look at the morning sun outside the window.

"Didn't Su Qi just send someone to invite you to the government office to discuss matters?"

"Don't delay it."

"."

On the other side, Linchuan Prefecture Office.

"What?!"

Just as Wei Changtian leisurely walked out of the courtyard where the four members of the Nine Truths Sect lived, in the study of the Prefecture Office, Su Qi's face instantly became extremely ugly.

Looking at the black-clothed constable opposite him, he almost hissed word by word:

"Is it really Wei Changtian?"

"It's him! This subordinate will never mistake him!"

The black-clothed constable hurriedly replied: "He should have originally gone to find the few members of the Nine Truths Sect, but unexpectedly, he happened to run into this subordinate."

"."

Frowning tightly, Su Qi thought for a long time, and then asked: "Did they fight?"

"This subordinate didn't see them fight before leaving, and this subordinate doesn't know what happened after that."

The black-clothed constable truthfully replied, then lowered his head and said softly:

"By the way, sir, Wei Changtian said a few words before letting this subordinate leave, saying that he was bringing them to you."

"What did he say?!"

Su Qi suddenly raised his head, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.

And the fact was indeed the same as his premonition.

"Sir, Wei Changtian said that the ten-day period has been changed to five days..."

Secretly observing Su Qi's expression, the black-clothed constable's voice became smaller and smaller.

"He said you understand what it means..."

"."

"Thump!"

His body softened, Su Qi slumped weakly back into the chair, his eyes instantly becoming desperate.

He never thought that things would be so coincidental, Wei Changtian didn't go sooner or later, but he just happened to run into the person he sent.

In this way, his plan to delay for a few more days undoubtedly turned into a bubble.

More importantly, are those four masters of the Nine Truths Sect still standing on Daqian's side now?

His eyes changed from despair to unwillingness, and then from unwillingness to decisiveness.

Su Qi gritted his teeth, knowing that he had no way to retreat now.

"Have all the people arrived?"

After being silent for a long time, Su Qi suddenly raised his head and asked: "Besides the four members of the Nine Truths Sect, have all the others arrived?"

"This subordinate will go and ask!"

The black-clothed constable responded, immediately walked out of the study in a hurry, and then quickly returned.

Looking at Su Qi, he swallowed and reported in a small voice with some stuttering:

"Da, sir, they have all arrived."

"The, the people from the Nine Truths Sect have also arrived..."
