Chapter 199: Intimidating He Zhenghao
Affected by Wuxiang's murderous intention, the fish around Zhou Qingang instantly became crazy.
Ignoring the coercion coming from him, they rushed to eat his body.
Without the soul's independent protection, just a moment later, a wisp of blood stained the surrounding seawater red.
Zhou Qingang’s body is gone.
A stone-like heart glowing with colorful light, with seven holes on it, was deposited at the place where the incident occurred.
The light was extremely dim.
With the death of its owner, this [Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart] has lost the wonder of heaven and earth, and has become an inconspicuous ordinary stone, sinking at the bottom of the sea.
After waiting in place for several days, he saw that the abnormality of his death did not attract other monks to come.
Li Fan then returned, not caring about anything else but absorbing the [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart] to recharge his energy.
After that, Li Fan quietly returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island without disturbing anyone.
Zhou Qingang's disappearance has not yet attracted anyone's attention.
It is completely normal for a foundation-building monk to be out of town for more than ten days and unable to contact him.
Li Fan did not rush to report Zhou Qingang's spy identity, but first realized the [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart].
"Exquisite on all sides, but with a heart as deep as the sea; it confuses people's hearts, and the truth and lies cannot change."
Three days later, Li Fan took a long breath, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Although it is only a wonder for middle-class people, it has no special benefits for practice. But as a foundation-building wonder for a spy, it couldn't be better."
In the Dantian, [Huan Zhen] bloomed with warm brilliance, slowly transforming into the appearance of [Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart].
Li Fan had a vague feeling, as if he was wearing countless layers of false coats, and others could no longer easily penetrate his mind.
"This thing is wonderful!"
Li Fan secretly praised in his heart.
Later, Li Fan checked the matching secret method [Appearance Changes with Heart].
This is not a cultivation technique, but a secret method of disguise created by Zhou Qingang's organization specifically for the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart.
After setting a specific appearance in the mind, the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart and the secret method stimulate each other, and the person can become another person in an instant.
The body shape and appearance are all different from the original ones.
And it is a real change that cannot be seen through by spells such as [Destroy Delusion].
The only pity is that it can only change its appearance, but not its own aura.
Therefore, Zhou Qingang is particularly cautious every time he travels.
Find an uninhabited place and gather your hidden aura.
However, no matter how careful you are, it is useless to be targeted by Li Fan, who has murderous intentions.
Li Fan was thinking while studying [Appearance changes with heart] in his mind.
"There has been the idea of using [Huan Zhen] to transform foundation-building rare objects and pretend to be others."
"Now that I have the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart and this secret method of disguise, pretending to be someone else becomes even more realistic."
"Furthermore, I have the "Qian Ji Jade World Golden Chapter" to identify the qi and the "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" to identify the destiny."
"If you can imitate and change Qi and destiny at the same time, it may be difficult to distinguish between true and false."
"If it can be done..."
Li Fan's thoughts surged, and many thoughts emerged at the same time.
"After the avatar in this life received the 100,000 contribution points from Yunshui Tiangong, there is nothing to worry about."
In order to test the effect of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, Li Fan came to Liuli Island through the teleportation array.
He Zhenghao was nowhere to be seen and I don’t know where he went.
Li Fan ignored him for the time being. He just changed into another appearance and went to talk nonsense in front of Manager Zhao.
Manager Zhao's ability to distinguish true from false words has indeed lost its effectiveness and can easily be played.
Manager Zhao was left standing there with a shocked look on his face, and Li Fan changed back to his appearance when no one was around.
Sent a message to He Zhenghao: "Where is my Taoist friend now?"
After a while, He Zhenghao's slightly tired voice came: "I accepted a mission and am building a defensive formation for a fellow Taoist's island cave. I wonder what fellow Taoist Li Fan wants from me?"
Li Fan sneered: "What else are you doing? He Zhenghao, did you know that you are about to be in trouble?"
He Zhenghao was slightly startled: "Why do fellow Taoists say this?"
"This matter still needs to be discussed in person. You should return to Liuli Island as soon as possible. The situation is urgent, and things will change if you delay." Li Fan said seriously.
"Okay... Fellow Taoist, please wait for me." Perhaps it was Li Fan's performance in the Lingwu Grass incident that convinced He Zhenghao. At this time, he had no doubts about what Li Fan said. He sounded panicked and immediately disconnected the communication.
After half a day, He Zhenghao finally arrived.
He looked haggard and looked tired, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
There was still a little fear in his eyes, but it was forced down.
"Fellow Taoist..." He Zhenghao saw Li Fan and was about to speak.
Li Fan waved his hand and interrupted him directly.
With a gesture from his eyes, He Zhenghao activated the mountains and rivers star formation.
Li Fan's formation made him more and more uneasy.
"Fellow Daoist He, are you familiar with Zhou Qing'ang, the guard of Tai'an Island?" Li Fan asked.
He Zhenghao was stunned and replied truthfully: "Fellow Taoist Zhou, I am familiar with him. This person has a good relationship with me, and he often asks me for knowledge about formations. Why do you ask this, fellow Taoist?"
"Hmph. Fortunately, you didn't deceive me." Li Fan said coldly, "If you had just told a lie, I would have turned around and left."
He Zhenghao became increasingly flustered.
When Li Fan saw that the atmosphere was brewing, he stopped trying to be pretentious and took out the photo stone.
The conversation between Zhou Qingang and the broken stone face was played.
…
"He Zhenghao also suffered heavy losses this time. I applied for the 100,000 contribution points because I wanted to take this opportunity to deepen my relationship with him."
"This person is proficient in formations, and has even participated in the layout of the island protection formation. He is also careless. With his help, he will definitely be able to completely master the formations as soon as possible."
…
At first, He Zhenghao couldn't understand because Zhou Qingang was not his original appearance.
But the conversation gradually unfolded, and He Zhenghao instantly realized what had happened.
And when he heard his name appear in the conversation, his face turned pale.
Big beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and He Zhenghao's whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
Putting away the photo stone, Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao with a stern expression: "Fellow Daoist He, how much information have you leaked about the island protection formation?"
"No...not much! It's really not much!" He Zhenghao trembled and defended himself.
"You still haven't told me honestly! Is it possible that you really want me to hand over this photo stone so that the people from the martial arts hall can interrogate you?" Li Fan scolded angrily.
He Zhenghao was frightened at first, but then he heard the meaning of Li Fan's words, and hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He grabbed Li Fan's hands and said repeatedly: "Fellow Taoist, help me! Friend Taoist, help me!"
Li Fan shook him off: "If you really want me to save you, then tell everything about Zhou Qing'ang truthfully!"
He Zhenghao started talking with a sad face.
After hearing this, Li Fan was speechless.
It turns out that the outer structure data of the formation submitted by Qing'ang this week actually has a large part of He Zhenghao's credit.
"He is trying to be attentive to me every now and then, bragging about my formation level, and then asking me for advice on the formation."
"I was flattered a bit, so..."
"Who would have thought that Zhou Qing'ang, who is also guarding Cong Yunhai, is actually a spy this time!"
"How could I be blinded by his sweet words?"
He Zhenghao looked like he was about to cry.
"Whether you know it or not, you can't change the fact that you leaked the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance." Li Fan snorted coldly.
"Fellow Daoist He, you should know the consequences, right?"
He Zhenghao shuddered: "Dismissal, strict investigation. Deduction of authority levels, and maybe abolishing cultivation..."
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he felt that the rest of his life would be dim and dull.
Coupled with the fact that he had lost all his life savings, he has been frantically taking on tasks these days to re-accumulate his contribution points.
It's exhausting both physically and mentally.
Under the multiple blows, He Zhenghao could no longer hold back, his mentality collapsed, and he burst into tears.
"Why am I in such a miserable state! I've lost all my money and got into this kind of thing!"
"How can I live like this!"
Li Fan was unmoved.
He Zhenghao cried for a while and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw that Li Fan didn't show any expression at all.
Wiping his tears, He Zhenghao said with a crying voice: "Fellow Taoist, you must save me!"
"I must not hand over this photo stone! Otherwise my future will be ruined!"
Li Fan asked back: "Reporting the spy is such a great achievement. Fellow Taoist, don't you know this?"
He Zhenghao murmured: "I can make it up to fellow Taoist."
Li Fan chuckled: "Fellow Taoist, you are broke now, what can you do to compensate me? I am not lacking in contribution. You Taoist may not know yet, but I made a huge profit of 600,000 in the Spirit Mist Grass incident!"
When He Zhenghao heard this, his eyes widened suddenly and he looked at Li Fan in disbelief.
"What, don't believe it?" Li Fan asked with squinting eyes.
"Believe, believe." He Zhenghao nodded quickly.
The envy and regret in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "I really regretted not listening to my fellow Taoist at the beginning!"
After a while, He Zhenghao thought for a while and said: "I have half a volume of "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Formation", which is my whole life..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Fan.
"I'm not very interested in formations. Being a repairman of that formation is just a springboard for employment."
He Zhenghao hesitated for a long time, and then said with difficulty: "I also have a daughter, who is also a foundation-building practitioner. I can introduce it to you, fellow Taoist..."
Li Fan looked solemn, and Dayi Lingran refused: "Who do you think I am! Don't mention this matter again!"
He Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief, and then started thinking with a grimace.
He also saw at this time that Li Fan did mean to spare him.
But it seems that he really wants to get something from him.
But other than that, He Zhenghao has nothing now?
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't get an answer.
He Zhenghao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Fellow Taoist, please don't play tricks on me. Just tell me what you want."
Li Fan smiled slightly and patted He Zhenghao on the shoulder.
"I want you as a person."
He Zhenghao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his face turned pale, he subconsciously jumped back and looked at Li Fan warily.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, what are you thinking about?"
"I mean, I want you to follow my lead from now on."
Li Fan stood in front of He Zhenghao and said slowly.
