As he was talking, Old Man Nangong walked in. Mu Yujun followed him in and took Haohao out.

"Auntie, you guys chat, I'll take Haohao out to play."

That Shanshan smiled and said, "Then please take good care of her."

Mu Yujun nodded: "Yeah!"

Seeing Old Man Nangong come in, Liu Zhecheng hurriedly stood up: "Master!"

Old Man Nangong waved his hand: "I heard you have something to talk to me about?"

Liu Zhecheng asked, "Master, when Master Situ passed away, did something happen?"

Old Master Nangong paused for a moment before asking, "What did you know?"

Liu Zhecheng smiled bitterly: "I don't know the details.

I had already started investigating the matter of Yuchi Lan. In addition, when Shanshan went out to rescue people, he told me to start investigating some things from the perspective of Quanfei's uncle. Only then did I realize that many people had infiltrated our organization.

It was also during my investigation into the Hermit Family that I unexpectedly heard that the old patriarch of the Situ Family had been murdered. You know, the old man was very kind to me. I didn't want him to die in vain.

Old Man Nangong waved his hand. "I only figured this out recently. I only learned the truth after coming here and being treated by that young man. But I didn't let her tell you. I know that old man from the Situ family is very important to you. If I told you, you would definitely not ignore it.

But in fact, your grandfather Situ died because of his poor health.

This story started forty years ago. At that time, your grandfather Situ and I were soldiers in the same year. We were on a mission and encountered a special place there.

We were stuck there for three days when suddenly a man showed up.

That person took advantage of our weakness and injured us, but didn't kill us. Instead, he let us go. But your grandfather Situ has spent half his life studying that injury, and he and I still haven't been able to cure it.

His death was not due to anything else, but a recurrence of his old injury. His physical condition was not as good as mine, so he died before me.

When Shan Shan heard this, he suddenly said, "Old man, why didn't you mention this before?"

Old Man Nangong waved his hand. "What's there to talk about? It happened forty years ago. You also said that the poison in our bodies was only put in these past few years. How could there be any connection?"

That Shanshan said, "That's not necessarily true. Did that person show up just to hurt you? Don't forget, you have a power-hungry Gu in your system. If you were strong, even if this Gu entered your body, you would die in your body because you don't have special medicine to prolong your life, and eventually be digested and excreted."

Don't you think this is all too coincidental? If it were just you, it would be understandable, but if both of you are like this, it really makes one wonder if this is a conspiracy that started forty years ago."

Old Man Nangong was stunned: "No, can't you?"

Shan Shan shook his head. It was nothing impossible. If Sakura Country had been searching for Di Ting for a hundred years, it was not impossible that they had been plotting something forty years ago.

Liu Zhecheng on the side also said: "Master, what I just wanted to say is that traitors have appeared in the Yuchi family, the Situ family, even your family and many sects."

Old Master Nangong glared in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Liu Zhecheng smiled bitterly. "I don't want this to be true either. The last time Yuchi Lan brought people to cause trouble for Shanshan, the Sakura Country was behind it. Plus, this time Li Jing came to find Shanshan, it caused such a big sensation. I think you all know that Shanshan's abilities are extraordinary, and the one Shanshan raised is even more of a divine beast."

I don't know if Shanshan has told you that the Sakura Country spent three years secretly setting up a formation in our country. Once that formation is activated, the country's fortune will be stolen.

They come to cause trouble for Shanshan because they hope that one day Shanshan will be boycotted by the entire nation. Then, they will have the opportunity to take Di Ting away and activate the formation."

As Old Man Nangong listened to Liu Zhecheng's words, his expression became more and more solemn. His hands unconsciously clenched their crutches, and his joints turned white from the force.

“How could this happen…” Old Man Nangong muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a deep disappointment and anger. “These traitors, for their own selfish interests, actually did such a thing as betraying the country. Do they still have any conscience or bottom line?”

That Shining frowned slightly, and said with a firm look, "Old man, the situation is urgent now. We can no longer sit idly by. If the Sakura Country's conspiracy succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous. We must find these traitors as soon as possible and put a stop to their plan."

Liu Zhecheng nodded and added, "Master, I've been secretly investigating for some time and have some clues. However, these traitors are hiding very deeply. They collude with each other and form a huge network. It's not easy to completely eradicate them."

Old Man Nangong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "In this case, we can't act rashly. Let's sort out the clues we have and see if we can find a breakthrough."

But at this moment, Shanshan shook his head and said, "I can't keep up."

Everyone looked at Shan Shan, who said, "My great-grandmaster said they've already decided to target me. Li Jing's livestream is the first step. Next, they'll create a series of chaos to completely prove I'm a time traveler and a demon woman. So, if you start looking for a breakthrough now, you're already several steps behind them."

"Besides, that formation has always been a big problem. Even if we successfully resolve this, they will find other ways. Once the formation is activated, it will probably cause even more trouble."

Liu Zhecheng clenched his fists in anger when he heard this. "It's a shame that many people in the Xuanmen sect can't tell friend from foe these days. If there's even a single mistake in this matter, everything will be lost. Most of the people in the special operations team come from hermit families and major sects."

Now, it has reached the point where no one is needed."

In fact, there are people who can be used. The last time we surrounded the forest, we sent troops directly there. But there are not many people who understand the formation, so what is needed now is people from the Xuanmen.

Just as everyone was silent, Jiang Ningming, who was standing by, belatedly asked, "Well, I don't quite understand. What will happen if the formation is activated?"

Shanshan explained to him, "I previously speculated that Sakura Country might be facing a major disaster. Zhang Shuyan mentioned borrowing luck before, and my uncle speculated that the formation was most likely to borrow the luck of China. How much luck would be enough to withstand a major disaster?"
