Mysterious mirror hanging high

Zhang Qingmang's sword came without any warning. Almost no one would have thought that this great sword cultivator would suddenly turn against his allies and attack his staunch ally. Even Wang Fujia himself had never thought of this possibility. He was completely unprepared and was hit by Zhang Qingmang's sword right at the damaged part of the back of the magic weapon's soft armor. The sword was so sharp that it penetrated him directly.

Gong Zhengyu and Master Black Tiger had already planned to rescue people, but when they saw this scene, their magic power almost reversed.

Jing Yu looked at Wang Fujia's body that quickly fell into the sea. He probed with his mind and confirmed that he was truly dead. Then he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Master Qingmang, what are you singing about?"

Zhang Qingmang pursed his lips and said nothing, but took out a jade slip from his storage bag and threw it to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu took the jade slip in confusion, and was surprised to find that it actually had the unique mark of Song Jianxu's magic power on it. It was genuine and could not be imitated.

"This is a letter Song Jianxu left for you." Zhang Qingmang said slowly with a complicated expression.

He removed the mark, probed into it with his spiritual sense, and finally realized everything and knew the whole story.

It turned out that the Song and Zhang families had been secretly friends for a long time, but openly the Zhang family was hostile to the Song family and there were many conflicts and frictions between them.

"I see."

Jing Yu suddenly thought of something. Why was it that when they were in the Dinggu Secret Realm before, only the body of Wang Family Jindan was placed in the main hall, while Zhang Family Jindan and Song Family's Song Wangshan died in the underground palace under the main hall?

That’s because, in fact, the so-called Zhang and Wang families going to the Dinggu Secret Realm to intercept Song Wangshan was actually a conspiracy between the Zhang and Song families!

The Wang family's golden elixir was killed by Zhang Ning and Song Wangshan in the secret realm.

The script had already been written, but unfortunately, after Zhang Ning and Song Wangshan killed Wang Jia Jindan, they happened to discover the underground palace under the main hall and activated the flying zombie transformed from the remains of Zhu Shentong's Nascent Soul. Zhu Shentong was then killed in the underground palace, which indirectly caused Zhu Shentong's residual soul to escape from the secret realm and reincarnate as Song Qingya, a direct descendant of the Song family.

It was because of this incident that Zhang Qingmang mistakenly believed that Song Jianxu secretly sold the three Jindan families' direct descendants to Yuanying Zhenjun Feng Qijie in order to survive, so he broke with him completely and simply turned the fake into real, intending to join forces with the Wang family to overthrow the Song family.

Later, Song Qingya retrieved the remains of his Nascent Soul from his previous life, and asked Jing Yu to send all the remains of Zhang Ning and Song Wangshan's Golden Core to Song Jianxu. At that time, Jing Yu was a little surprised, but now after reading the letter Song Jianxu left for him, he understood everything.

It turned out that Song Jianxu had secretly found Zhang Qingmang with the remains of the Zhang family's direct descendant of the Jindan realm, returned the remains, and based on the fatal injuries on Zhang Ning's body, completely denied the possibility of Feng Qijie taking action. This made Zhang Qingmang understand the truth.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, the Wang family is different from the Zhang family. Since the establishment of the family, there have been deep conflicts with the Song family, and many blood feuds have been forged. It is already irreconcilable. If the Song family wants to rise, the Wang family must be destroyed."

Zhang Qingmang said leisurely, "I have to thank you for your heavy water magical power. I finally found the flaw in Wang Fujia's back and was able to succeed with one strike of the sword."

Jing Yu sneered inwardly, "It seems this Zhang Qingmang has been lurking in the dark, on our side the entire time, yet he hasn't revealed anything. It wasn't until I achieved Golden Core and engaged in a fierce battle with Wang Fujia that he suddenly took action and delivered Master Song's letter... I'm afraid he's trying to hedge his bets."

"If the current situation is the best, then the Zhang and Song families can reconcile, and she, Zhang Qingmang, can also swallow up the Wang family together with the Song family."

"But if I fail to successfully form a pill, or if the quality of the pill after forming it is unsatisfactory, and its future potential is not enough to support the reputation of a top family, then Zhang Qingmang will simply ignore this letter and go all out to destroy the Song family together with Wang Fujia. It will be a win-win situation either way."

But this is not something that should be said openly. Jing Yu did not expect Zhang Qingmang to be a saint. To put it bluntly, no matter how good their relationship was in the past, they had been misunderstood for so many years, and even if there was no hatred originally, hatred would arise.

It is rare that Zhang Qingmang is willing to change sides at the last moment.

So he just said politely, "Master Qingmang's sword decides everything. Xuan Jing admires him. But now what happens next..."

Zhang Qingmang said calmly, "The Wang family cannot be kept."

"Besides Wang Fujia, a late Jindan Great True Man, the Wang family only has two early Jindan cultivators left. A few years ago, one of them was killed in the Dinggu Secret Realm... Now, only that Jindan remains in the clan, guarding the formation."

"I'm going to Poison Dragon Island right now and try to trick them into breaking the Golden Core Formation. This way I can save some trouble."

Zhang Qingmang finally revealed an unpleasant smile. "If we can't, it's nothing more than a few days of attack. We have several late-stage Jindan warriors on our side, and the remaining Wang family Jindan can't hold out for too long."

Zhang Qingmang decided the future fate of a Jindan family with just a few words, but no one present had any objection.

After all, if the Xingluo Island Golden Core Formation is broken today, the Song family will naturally not escape the fate of being destroyed and exterminated, and the fate of the Song family's direct and branch cultivators will certainly not be good either.

"Buddha-honored One," Master Black Tiger chanted the Buddha's name and whispered, "Heaven is merciful. I hope True Man Qingmang will show mercy and not commit too many sins of murder."

Zhang Qingmang glanced at Master Black Tiger and said, "Old monk, there's no need to say more. My Zhang family is considered a righteous family in the Red Dust Sea. We won't do something like annihilating an entire clan. Of course, the cultivators of the Wang family's direct lineage will die, but the cultivators of the branch lineage will only have their cultivation destroyed. As for those from other clans? We won't kill them indiscriminately. Why do you need to tell us that?"

Then he looked at the three Ruan brothers and said, "Three fellow Taoists, you were originally hired by me. Now why not follow me for another trip?"

Ruan Da, the leader, had previously witnessed the battle between Jing Yu and Wang Fujia. He suddenly shuddered, shrank his head, and said with a forced smile, "That's right, that's right! My three brothers are hired by others. Destroying the Song family is one thing, and destroying the Wang family is the same. Fellow Daoist Qingmang, just pay the full reward when the time comes..."

Zhang Qingmang nodded and turned to look at Jing Yu. "Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, in that case, I'll leave this Wang Fujia storage bag to you. Consider it a token of my Zhang family's sincerity in renewing our cooperation... When you hold your Golden Elixir Ceremony, I'll definitely come to visit you with a generous gift!"

After saying that, he turned into a green sword light and left first.

How could the three Ruan brothers dare to stay here for long? They quickly set up their escape light and chased after them.

At this time, the only ones left outside Xingluo Island were Master Black Tiger, Gong Zhengyu, and Jing Yu, who had taken Wang Fujia's remains and storage bag and was now thinking with his head down.

After a while, Jing Yu suddenly realized what was happening, patted his head, and smiled at the two of them:

"I was lost in thought for a moment and neglected the two seniors. Please come to the island and have a chat!"
