Chapter 403 Shadow Clearance Plan
When Zhang Wanzhi finished telling the truth he had learned from beginning to end, all the strong men of Yintian Sect present were shocked and speechless.
Their first reaction was to disbelieve it. What Zhang Wanzhi said was too terrifying and bizarre.
But after thinking carefully, they could not find any flaws. All the abnormalities they had just seen could match.
More importantly, Zhang Wanzhi did not need to talk nonsense. There were still four captives in their hands. It would be clear if they asked whether it was true or not.
Of course, what they found most difficult to accept and unwilling to face was not that Wuhu Jushi and Tianqing Daoist were replaced by shadows, but those shadows that had not been found yet!
In their Yintian Sect alone, two of the top supreme elders have been replaced. If the entire sect is thoroughly investigated, how many can be found?
How many shadows are hidden in the four major immortal sects?
And the Xianyin Realm is not just the four major immortal sects, there are countless large and small forces, as well as famous independent cultivators with strong cultivation.
How many people among them have been replaced by shadows?
I dare not even think about it!
"No wonder when we were about to come to Wanshan Realm, a few people found excuses to refuse. Could it be..." A supreme elder of Yintian Sect immediately made an association.
"You mean they are all..."
The elder of Yintian Sect jumped up.
It was really hard to accept that the fellow disciples who had known each other for many years had been replaced by shadows.
At that time, Ye Yuqiu came to the door and said that the Five Lakes Laymen were besieged in the lower realm and asked them to rescue.
So many supreme elders went out together, but a few people found excuses to refuse and were unwilling to come. This is very unreasonable.
But if these people are shadows, then it makes sense.
After all, who should they help if they come?
Once they take action, they will not attract the ascending glow, and even they will be exposed.
"We should be thankful that they didn't come, otherwise if they suddenly turn against us, I'm afraid we will suffer a great loss." Someone said.
"They probably didn't expect us to win a great victory, and they still want to keep hiding their identities."
Indeed, if it weren't for the strong fighting power of Zhang Wanzhi and others, and Li Xiuchang's secret assist, the difference in strength between the two sides was not big, and it would be difficult to keep the other side.
In addition, the shadows have the ability to be immune to ascension and resurrect after death, so normally the shadows should have the advantage.
It's just that they didn't count on the variable of Li Xiuchang, let alone the Hidden Immortal Talisman provided by Li Xiuchang.
If there were no large quantities of Hidden Immortal Talismans, whether it was the strong men of Yintian Sect or the senior brothers and sisters, they would have ascended to the upper realm while fighting, and the shadows would not be in any danger.
Lu Yang said: "Since you all know the truth, please tell other forces after you go back to clear these shadows as soon as possible."
Ping Tian Zhenren frowned and thought, "This is a troublesome matter. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"It is not difficult to find the shadows you mentioned. There are many ways, but the question is what will happen if those shadows feel threatened? This is what we need to consider now!"
There are many abnormalities in the shadows. Once these are clear, it is very easy to find them.
But what will happen when the identities of those shadows are about to be exposed? Will they fight to the death?
Most of the shadows who can come to the Xianyin Realm are not weak, and they are basically in high positions.
Once they are determined to fight to the death, or carry out suicide attacks, indiscriminate destruction, etc., all major sects can't bear it!
The key is that after the destruction, they can commit suicide on the spot and go to the resurrection point to revive.
This is equivalent to installing countless time bombs in each major force. Now they want to defuse the bombs, but they are afraid that they will explode.
"This is indeed a problem!"
Speaking of this, the Yintian Sect's strong men became worried again: "We are all out, those shadows will not take the opportunity to cause trouble in the sect? No, we have to go back quickly!"
It would be fine if we didn't know the existence of these shadows, but now we know, we have to worry every moment.
Pingtian Zhenren stopped them and said: "Don't panic, it's been so many years, they have already done whatever they want to do. This time they are unwilling to come with us, which means they still want to continue to hide their identities and will not take any action easily.
"What we have to think about now is how to get rid of them at the lowest cost!"
Motu said: "There are many ways, but there is no time."
"What do you mean?" The Yintian Sect's strong men felt nervous.
Zhang Wanzhi explained: "No matter what good ideas you come up with, it takes time to execute, but these shadows are connected. Once Tianqing Daoist and others pass the news to other shadows lurking in your Yintian Sect, they will naturally know that their identities are about to be exposed and may take action. "
"What are you waiting for! Hurry back to defend! "
Lu Yang advised: "There is no need to be so anxious. It is not so easy to transmit messages across the boundaries. The shadows do not have the ability to ascend, and they cannot quickly transmit messages to the Xianyin Realm."
"But won't those dead shadows be resurrected in Xianyin?" The strong man of Yintian Sect questioned.
"It takes time for them to be resurrected, which may take a few hours at the shortest and several days at the longest. Moreover, they are naked after resurrection. What can they use to transmit messages?"
After listening to Lu Yang's analysis, the people of Yintian Sect calmed down a little.
In general, there is still time, but not much.
At least there is still one or two days for them to act.
So how to use these one or two days to minimize the losses caused by clearing the shadows is what they have to consider.
"This is not our business. Let's go back quickly and pass the news to other major forces. Let's think of a solution together."
"We must think carefully about who to pass this news to. We must ensure that the other party's identity is correct, otherwise it will be troublesome!"
The people of Yintian Sect talked a lot and quickly discussed the action plan.
It is known that the people present are absolutely trustworthy. After returning to Xianyin Realm, everyone must keep their mouths shut and never disclose this information to others easily.
Then contact the high-level leaders of Wenjian Sect, Dengxian Pavilion and Xianchen Sect to discuss this matter.
Although other forces must have shadows hiding, as long as the hidden dangers in the four major immortal gates are eliminated, it will be much easier to help those big and small forces when the four major immortal gates are free.
Of course, time cannot be wasted. While discussing, some action measures must be taken.
For example, arrange disciples to go out to perform tasks as much as possible to reduce the number of people in the sect, and do it in a hidden way so that the shadows cannot find any abnormalities.
Then the question is, who are the trustworthy people in the other three major immortal gates?
"The fewer people who know about this, the safer it is. It is enough for each family to find one or two trustworthy people. Of course, their status and position must be high enough, and they can make decisions in their respective sects."
"It is easy to ask the Sword Sect. The straightforward sword cultivators are not good at disguising themselves. As long as we make sure that their swordsmanship is as pure as ever, there will be no problem."
"We need to carefully screen the Dengxian Pavilion and the Xianchen Sect..."
Ye Yuqiu took the initiative to say: "Leave the Xianchen Sect to me."
She is now considered half a member of the Xianchen Sect. She has been living in the Xianchen Sect recently and is familiar with Chu Ya's ancestor Chu Tianfan.
She can be sure that Chu Tianfan is fine. It is not difficult to find the absolutely trustworthy Golden Immortal-level Supreme Elder in the Xianchen Sect through Chu Tianfan.
Pingtian Zhenren said: "Then I will go to Dengxian Pavilion. I have a few old friends there."
Motu said in a calm and indifferent tone: "No matter why you believe them, it is best to confirm their identities before telling them."
Zhang Wanzhi also nodded and said: "This is a serious matter. You can use the Hidden Immortal Talisman I just gave you to let them attract the ascending clouds to confirm their identities."
Pingtian Zhenren and Ye Yuqiu nodded together.
Pingtian Zhenren glanced at Zhang Wanzhi and others and asked: "Where are you going? Do you have time to join us?"
At this time, Zhang Wanzhi and others are more trustworthy than the unidentified supreme elder of their sect.
In addition, the last demon lord and the heir of the Zhang family are both famous and powerful. Pingtian Zhenren wants to bring Zhang Wanzhi and others on board.
Zhang Wan knows: "To be honest, we left Xianyin Realm a long time ago and have now established a sect in Dark Heaven Realm. But we grew up in Xianyin Realm after all, and it is our hometown. Now that our hometown is in trouble, we are still willing to contribute.
"Also, we have a good friend who has been missing for many years. We also suspect that he was replaced by a shadow. If there is hope, we still want to rescue him."
He deliberately created an illusion that "we have not been in Xianyin Realm for a long time" to avoid suspicion of their vest identities in Xianchen Sect.
This also makes it convenient for them to withdraw at any time later. As long as they say that they have something to do in Dark Heaven Realm, they can leave.
"In this case, I would like to trouble all Taoist friends to follow me back to Xianyin Realm to meet the high-level leaders of the other three major immortal sects. After all, you discovered this matter, so it is more credible if you say it yourself. "
"No problem, then let's hurry up and leave. "
Zhang Wanzhi agreed, and a group of people planned to ascend back to the Xianyin Realm, after all, they didn't have much time.
At this time, Gui Wuyan's head said: "We still have a junior in this world, I will go to pick him up and go together."
Li Xiuchang was in tears in the dark, and finally Senior Brother Gui still remembered him.
Otherwise, he could only ascend alone and return to the Xianchen Sect silently, and he would not be able to participate in the following things.
Li Xiuchang flew silently in the direction of Senior Brother Gui, and soon met Senior Brother Gui and removed the Immortal Hiding Talisman.
After disguising himself, he changed his own aura, but directly showed his true cultivation.
After a while, Li Xiuchang appeared behind Gui Wuyan. He had a lot of cultivation, but it was difficult for him to have such a bold opportunity to show it.
"Hello, seniors. "Li Xiuchang bowed to the supreme elders of Yintian Sect.
Pingtian Zhenren stared at Li Xiuchang for a moment, his face showing surprise. He couldn't even see through a mere cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
However, a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage who could be taken by a group of Golden Immortals like Zhang Wanzhi must be extraordinary. Pingtian Zhenren praised him politely and didn't ask any more questions.
A group of people immediately ascended on the spot, and rays of ascension fell one after another. After a while, they arrived at the Immortal Shade Realm together.
Such a large-scale flying Ascending, it caused quite a stir. The location where they ascended happened to be within the scope of Yintian Sect, which attracted the investigation of some elders of Yintian Sect.
When the people of Yintian Sect saw that it was their own great elder who had returned, they hurried forward to inquire about the progress of the matter.
The great elders of Yintian Sect just had a gloomy face, as if they had suffered a loss, so those elders did not dare to ask more questions.
An elder came forward to report: "The leader of Xianchen Sect, Liang Daocheng, came to visit and also sent the famous immortal weapon Jinguan Seal used by Master Jinguan back then."
Pingtian Zhenren and Ye Yuqiu were stunned. They were about to go to Xianchen Sect to find someone to discuss matters, but how come the Xianchen Sect leader came to them?
Also, how many years has the Golden Light Seal been missing? How was it found?
Pingtian Zhenren waved away the elders from his own family, and then looked at Ye Yuqiu and asked, "Can this Xianchen Sect leader Liang Daocheng be trusted?"
Ye Yuqiu didn't have much contact with Liang Daocheng, so he didn't know how to answer.
Lu Yang smiled and said, "This Sect Master Liang can send the Golden Light Seal, so he should be credible."
"Why do you say that?"
"According to our fortune teller's calculations, Wuhu Layman originally intended to use the Golden Light Seal to hold you back, but it was accidentally resolved by the people of Xianchen Sect. This Sect Master Liang participated in it and destroyed Shadow's plan, which is enough to prove his innocence."
Pingtian Zhenren didn't quite understand what he heard, but he still understood the general meaning. He nodded and said, "That saves trouble, just invite him to come and have a talk."
Next, Pingtian Zhenren arranged two people to ask Jianzong for someone, and he flew directly to Dengxian Pavilion.
The rest of the Yintian Sect elders returned to Yintian Sect first, and secretly sent out their disciples under various pretexts.
Inside, they only said that they were late and didn't see Wuhu Layman, and now Wuhu Layman is missing.
As for Li Xiuchang and several senior brothers and sisters, they are temporarily waiting outside, waiting for people from the other three major immortal sects to come and discuss important matters.
…
Pingtian Zhenren moved quickly and brought two supreme elders from Dengxian Pavilion.
These two were the top masters of Dengxian Pavilion, and their identities were verified.
Wenjian Sect also had two straightforward sword cultivators, who were also at the level of Golden Immortal.
Finally, Xianchen Sect had the weakest lineup, with only one sect master.
Of course, this was only on the surface. If Zhang Wanzhi, Motu and others were included, the lineup of Xianchen Sect was quite luxurious.
It was the first time that Li Xiuchang saw his own sect master. He was a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard, and looked very elegant.
His cultivation was not weak, at the level of True Immortal, but it was not good enough to be sandwiched among a bunch of Golden Immortals.
The sect masters of the four major sects were mainly responsible for managing affairs, so they would not be the strongest group of people in the sect.
Liang Daocheng had cold sweat on his forehead at this time. He gave the Golden Light Seal to Yintian Sect and was warmly received, so he was ready to leave. However, he was not far away when he was quietly stopped by several supreme elders of Yintian Sect.
He said he had something important to discuss.
But he didn't expect that the level of this meeting was so high, and he, a true immortal, turned out to be the weakest one.
He wanted to find someone to inquire about the situation first, but when he looked around, he saw seniors with much higher cultivation than him.
"Huh? There is a Tribulation Stage!"
Liang Daocheng's eyes lit up when he saw Li Xiuchang, whose cultivation was lower than his. (End of this chapter)
