Chapter 684 Lies

Zhang Xuan scratched his head: "So, I still have to be the captain?"

"Yes, you must be." Hanekawa said firmly.

"I'm not familiar with the sea conditions, and I've never been a captain before... By the way, Brother Hanekawa has been around the Chaoxi Sea, have you ever been a captain before?"

"More than a hundred years ago, I was the captain. Unfortunately, all my crew members died in the sea, and I was the only one who survived."

Zhang Xuan glanced at a few people and said:

"The only way to increase people's trust is to be open and honest, don't you think?"

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

"Well, in that case, I will exercise my first order as captain. Everyone must answer two questions. One is to tell a lie you have told before, and the other is for everyone to tell the real purpose of their trip."

After hearing what Zhang Xuan said, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just now, Hanekawa was just waving a big flag, but he didn't expect the other party to get into the role so quickly.

There was an awkward silence.

"Let me tell you first..."

Everyone looked and saw that the person who was speaking was none other than the man in red.

"The lie I told was that Qing Yi was not my incarnation."

"How is it possible?" Hanekawa was shocked. "Qing Yi looks exactly like you, and his speaking style is carved from the same mold. The aura on his body and the magical powers connected to the laws of heaven and earth are also exactly the same..."

"Qing Yi is the real owner, and I am her incarnation."

Everyone was shocked after hearing what Hongyi said.

"You... you are an avatar... how can there be such a perfect avatar?"

Everyone has refined an incarnation in the underground prison.

The incarnation has no intelligence, and its connection with the rules and laws of Taoism is not perfect.

The red dress in front of me doesn't look like an incarnation of my body at all.

"Fifty years ago, the courtesan Qingyi of the music studio obtained the secret method of incarnation and refined me. She trained me constantly and made me more and more like her. I became her substitute and helped her deal with many things."

"Later, Qingyi discovered that I had developed my own spiritual intelligence, and my cultivation was even slightly higher than hers, so she designed to lock me up in an underground prison."

"I...I have always regarded her as my master and the most important person. I never thought she would betray me..."

When Hongyi said this, a tear actually seeped out of the corner of her eye.

Zhang Xuan also felt a little sad.

Qingyi must be afraid that Hongyi will become more and more powerful and replace him one day, so he strikes first.

However, from the perspective of personal interests.

No one cares whether the person in red is the original owner or an incarnation.

The original owner has been killed, is there any meaning in this?

Even though everyone already knew that the man in red was an incarnation, the man in green still had to be killed.

Who makes us all have common goals and interests?

"As for the real purpose of my trip... my biggest goal is to kill Qing Yi. Now that Qing Yi is gone, I don't know what I will do next. If I must say the purpose, it is to get to shore alive."

After Hongyi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Zhang Xuan coughed twice and said, "Then let me tell you about myself. The lie I told everyone was that everyone was collecting things to exchange for spirit stones, but I cheated them all..."

"Including Senior Xu's Great Pill Qi, Senior Xue's semi-finished spiritual treasure, Senior Moyuan's rootless red spiritual tea, etc..."

Zhang Xuan looked up and saw that everyone looked unhappy, and hurriedly added: "Although I stole the things, I paid for the spirit stones. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to get the materials for those incarnations so easily..."

Xu Anming asked doubtfully: "That's the material of 100 million high-grade spirit stones. Where did you get so many spirit stones?"

"I was a good spirit cook, and I earned a lot of spirit stones from the magic pot... Of course, I was later convicted for this and was punished to become a mining slave."

Hanekawa nodded and said, "Since you have already paid the 100 million high-grade spirit stones, it is equivalent to you buying those things. It is harmless."

Zhang Xuan continued: "As for my purpose, it is naturally to obtain the Heart of the Witch Ancestor and return to Fairy Cat Valley safely."

After Henry Zhang finished speaking, everyone fell silent again.

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you.

Everyone is waiting for others to speak first.

"Our captain and first mate have already given us a good start. Since we are comrades on the same ship, we might as well speak freely."

As Hanekawa spoke, he turned his gaze towards Xu Anming.

Xu Anming's face trembled, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, with a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

"Friend Xu, please tell me." Hanekawa said with narrowed eyes.

Xu Anming sighed and said, "It's going to be hard to hide it sooner or later. The biggest lie I told was that I was a fourth-level middle-grade alchemist."

"Are you a fifth-rank alchemist?" Xue Zhihao was shocked, like a mouse whose tail was stepped on.

Xu Anming glanced at him and shook his head: "No."

"So you are a fourth-level upper-grade alchemist?"

"No."

"Fourth-order low-grade?"

"No."

"A third-level alchemist... no way?"

"I am a third-level lower-grade alchemist."

Everyone was also shocked when they heard it.

Xue Zhihao was the first to stand up and said, "Impossible, if you are only a third-level lower-grade alchemist, how can you become an alchemist?"

"The legacy of our ancestors, during the assessment, my father, the previous alchemy master, prepared the fourth-level elixir in advance and said that I had refined it..."

"It's easy to hide something for a while, but it's hard to hide it forever. As far as I know, after your father passed away, you also refined a lot of fourth-level pills."

Xu Anming blushed and said, "Those were all made by my apprentice..."

Everyone was speechless for a while.

Even his apprentice can refine fourth-level elixirs, but this famous alchemy master cannot refine fourth-level elixirs.

"Then you didn't kill those disciples because you were obsessed with the idea of breaking through to the fifth-level alchemy master?"

It has been rumored before that the reason why Xu Anming killed those fourth-level alchemists was to obtain the alchemy method to upgrade to a fifth-level alchemist.

The truth was revealed and he was sent to prison.

Many people feel sorry for this old Taoist.

I didn't expect there was another hidden story behind this.

Xu Anming's old face turned even redder.

"I killed those people because they discovered my secret."

"You can't find the secret of refining the fourth-level elixir?"

"Yes." Xu Anming nodded.

"That's not right. During the battle just now, you did take out a bottle of fourth-level medicine..."

"That's because I went back to my old nest to take out the fourth-level elixir I had before I went to prison. This is the only bottle left."

"Ugh……"

Everyone sighed.

This is really bloody.
