Bringing the Hokage legacy to the Nine Realms of Golden Light

While Yan Tuolong was treating Shi Yanwen, Zhou Zheng went directly to Murong Mansion using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the end, Qiao Rulai was not brought along!

Instead, let him stay here and take good care of his father with his younger brother.

"Where is Xiaokong? Brother Zhou, did you see Xiaokong in Xijianliu?" After Zhou Zheng gave some explanation, Xueshan Yinyan immediately asked.

He had been shocked by the rescue of his father, but now that he had recovered, he immediately asked Zhou Zheng about Xiaokong's news.

"Only Shi Xianren was found in the dungeon of Xijianliu, no one else was found." Zhou Zheng could only say this. His main purpose of traveling underground in Xijianliu before was to find those villagers. He found Shi Yanwen because the structure of the dungeon allowed him to enter the dungeon directly while traveling underground.

As for the wooden barrel that contained the small empty box, after a cursory search, I really couldn't see it.

“It’s possible that the people from Xijianliu had other purposes in abducting Xiaokong, so they didn’t leave him in a conspicuous place, or they hid him specifically.

"So now, the most important thing is to pay close attention to the movements of the Western Sword Clan. Although we defeated them this time, we still didn't drive them all out. The next battle will be a tough one, and they will be more careful." After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he left the barren mountain position and headed for Murong Mansion. He also sent his clone to the Tianlong Gang.

Xijianliu

Izumo Nohu brought back Ryuzo Sanada, Katsu Chidori, Shimoe Amane, Michitaka Tenma, and the body of Ugly Kongming.

Igawa Shizu brought back Yasha Hitomi's body.

Izumo Nobuka brought back Kiyomaru's body and said that Kazama Hajime's body was not found, nor were many related clues found.

They brought back the body and explained the situation at the scene.

Each body was also subjected to a special examination, and the scars left on their bodies were professionally and rigorously analyzed.

"In this battle, our Xijianliu suffered heavy losses! However, such losses are not normal!" Akabane Nobunosuke said with a frown.

“In the past five years, there was no one in the Central Plains who could fight against the Eight Sects.

“In this battle, so many experts suddenly appeared, and we didn’t receive any prior notice.

"Contact Tian Hengjun, Taoist Sanqing, and the top undercover agents in the Central Plains, and we must find out the source of this help." Akabane Nobunosuke said.

"So what should we do next?" Yueya Lei said.

In this battle, Xijianliu suffered heavy losses, and Yueya Lei was no longer obsessed with revenge on Zhongyuan, but put Xijianliu's goal first.

“Before we determine the origins of those people, we should not take any further action. Now, the most important thing is to rebuild the barrier and complete the spiritual body refining.

"Only in this way can we have a chance to counterattack." said Akabane Nobunosuke.

"Yes!" The remaining five ministers and one of the Heavenly Kings responded at the same time.

Murong Mansion

After the battle, Murong Yanyu brought Murong Ning and the three sword masters back to Murong Mansion.

Although Zhou Zheng received a formal reception upon his arrival, the Murong family, having repaid their favor, treated Zhou Zheng like a normal guest.

Then they also told the results of the battle.

"Things should also go smoothly for Mo Lisao and the Guyue Sect. Are you satisfied with the result? In this way, we don't owe each other anything!" Murong Yanyu said.

"Alright! This is the end of our deal!

"Since we get along fairly well, I'll give you one last message before I leave.

"After disappearing, Pian Feng Wu Ji might have changed his name and appearance and turned into a person called Feng Ling Yi Dao Sheng! Of course, this is just my conclusion based on some clues.

"If you want to go find him, it's best not to make a big fuss, otherwise he will get wind of it and immediately change his identity. Then I won't be able to give you any hints." After Zhou Zheng finished drinking the tea from Murong's family, he lifted the clone technique.

A figure just turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared in front of everyone.

No matter how many times you see this sight, it always amazes you.

Tianlong Gang

Zhou Zheng arrived at the battlefield and found that everyone was taking care of the battlefield.

All the leaders of the Four Yue Alliance gathered together.

"Mr. Zhou is here! Thank you so much for your help! If it weren't for the help you found, I don't know how many heroes we would have lost in this battle!" He Wentian said, and then took the lead in expressing his gratitude.

"These are all small matters, but I was able to get them here through transactions. In order to get them to come, I have used up all my favors and benefits. There is no way to find them again after that! Where is Taoist Master Sanqing?" After responding casually, he explained the situation and asked them not to pin their hopes on those reinforcements. Then he found that there was one person missing at the scene, so he asked curiously.

"We still can't believe that Taoist Sanqing turned out to be an undercover agent arranged by Xijianliu. In the last moments of our battle, he and the people he brought not only suddenly released poisonous smoke, but also secretly attacked us. If an old senior hadn't suddenly arrived and eliminated everyone in an instant, we would probably have suffered heavy losses this time, or even been completely destroyed." Elder Changkong said.

"It seems that Tian Hengjun of the Heaven and Earth Departments is also an undercover agent of the Western Sword School!" Zhou Zheng said this deliberately.

"How do you know?" Niu Feng asked.

"Because I have long suspected Taoist Sanqing, and when I was setting up the magic traps at the Tianlong Gang's base, I overheard his conversation and heard him mention Lord Tianheng!" Zhou Zheng said this deliberately.

"Since you have discovered it already, why didn't you tell us in advance? If we could have made preparations earlier, our losses might have been reduced." He Wentian asked.

"I have no evidence! Given the relationship between you seniors, if I really said that at the time, would you believe me or him? When the two sides confront each other, and he continues to act, given the relationship between you, even if you don't shout and kill me, you might just kick me out of the Tianlong Gang.

"And it's even less likely that the people I arrange will be recognized by you. So, will anyone be able to save you at that time?" Zhou Zheng explained, and his words here were a perfect ending.

“All the people under Taoist Sanqing must be controlled. They might even unite with Xijianliu and reveal all kinds of news and intelligence about the Central Plains to Xijianliu.

"Things here have been resolved. I have to go back to the Desolate Mountain position again to control Tian Hengjun to prevent him from passing the news from the Central Plains to the Western Sword Stream! By the way, please keep it confidential and don't tell anyone that the undercover has been found. After all, an open undercover may have other uses." After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he cloned himself again and sent the new clone to the Desolate Mountain position.

In the barren mountain medical clinic, Yan Tuolong was still treating Shi Yanwen. Zhou Zheng appeared again and went straight to Tian Hengjun who was watching the fun.

One hand on his head.

"Sealing Technique: Five Elements Seal"

In just a moment, Tian Hengjun fell down and leaned on Zhou Zheng.

While he was unable to move, Zhou Zheng carried Tian Hengjun on his back, notified Qiao Rulai who was inside through telepathy, and then they went upstairs together.

Qiao Rulai was in a good mood because he met his father for the first time in five years. He was suddenly startled when he heard the voice that came directly from the bottom of his heart.

After he came to his senses, he looked back and saw Zhou Zheng's back.

Then he smiled and nodded to the people around him, then followed them out and upstairs.

After discovering her eldest brother's actions, Snow Mountain Silver Swallow also followed him out.

The consequence of his leaving was that Jian Wuji also followed him out.

"Hey, don't you want to see your dad anymore?" Jian Wuji shouted from behind, but Xueshan Yinyan ignored him.

Jian Wuji turned his head and glanced at Shi Yanwen lying on the bed and Yan Tuolong who was treating his injuries.

After confirming that he was not needed here, he followed them out.

Upstairs, Tiandi Double Department Conference Hall

Zhou Zheng placed the sealed Tian Hengjun on the table. Not long after, Qiao Rulai also entered the room.

"Mr. Zhou, what is going on?" Qiao Rulai asked curiously. He believed that Zhou Zheng would not do anything meaningless.

"Tian Hengjun is an undercover agent of Xijianliu! News just came from the Tianlong Gang that the rebellious Taoist priest Sanqing has been executed. Before this, I heard their conversation." Zhou Zheng said.

"Ah?" Qiao Rulai was obviously also shocked by Zhou Zheng's words!

This was because, when the Heaven and Earth Departments were established, Tian Heng Jun was originally a veteran among them. But now, no one expected that Tian Heng Jun was actually an undercover agent planted by Xi Jianliu.

"Okay, that's the thing. Although I want to get rid of him once and for all, if such a person falls into your hands, he may be of greater use, so I won't interfere. All the following matters will be left to you." Zhou Zheng said. After that, the clone returned to the clinic downstairs and stayed behind temporarily in case of emergency.

Just after Zhou Zheng left, Xueshan Yinyan and Jian Wuji also came into the room.

"Brother, what happened?" asked Xueshan Yinyan.

"Zhou Zheng just came back from the Tianlong Gang and told me that Taoist Sanqing and Tianhengjun are undercover agents of the Xijianliu!" Qiao Rulai said.

"What?" Xueshan Yinyan exclaimed, of course she couldn't believe it.

Although he couldn't believe that Tian Hengjun was an undercover agent, he also believed that Zhou Zheng would not lie to them.

"Wow! I really can't believe that this timid person can actually be an undercover agent and act so convincingly."

"Brother, has Brother Zhou produced the evidence?" asked Xueshan Yinyan.

"Over at the Tianlong Gang, Taoist Sanqing has been killed. If we can go over and ask and confirm that Taoist Sanqing is an undercover agent, then what Zhou Yishi said is naturally not a lie!" Qiao Rulai said.

"I'll go!" Snow Mountain Silver Swallow volunteered.

"No way! Is it necessary to confirm this again? It's impossible for Zhengzi to tell such a lie that will be shattered at the slightest touch, right?

"If you ask me, why don't we just treat him as an undercover agent?" Jian Wuji said from the side.
