The Way of the Immortal Master

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, just tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​spreading such rumors, and what is your source of information?"

Zhou Shengkao interrupted Meng Zhang's compliment, and went straight to the topic.

When he admitted that he was spreading rumors, Meng Zhang's brain turned rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the next problem.

Everything about the abandoned mine must not be disclosed. You have to act as if you don't know the place at all.

Thinking that Shuangfenggu might have something to do with ghost monks, Meng Zhang felt chills in his heart.

Don't look at Shuangfenggu's dignified and dignified demeanor, when the critical moment comes, there will never be any ambiguity in killing people and silencing them.

Meng Zhang didn't want to die in an unclear manner.

When Zhou Shengkao asked about the source of the news, Meng Zhang said what he had prepared a long time ago.

"Brother Zhou, you also know that our Taiyi Sect and the Zhao family have never dealt with each other very well. For many years, we have been secretly monitoring the Zhao family. The younger brother is not talented, and he knows a little bit of illusion to confuse people. A while ago..."

According to Meng Zhang, when he was routinely monitoring the monks of the Zhao family, he happened to encounter an opportunity for the other monks to be alone. Confused the other party with illusion, and got information out of the other party's mouth.

The information is very brief, the content is that the Zhao family seems to have obtained a batch of spiritual objects by accident, and plans to exchange these spiritual objects for Foundation Establishment Pills.

Meng Zhang, who was informed of the information, was terrified. Once there were foundation-building monks in the Zhao family, it would be catastrophic for the Taiyi Sect.

In desperation, Meng Zhang came up with a crooked idea and spread rumors about the Zhao family everywhere, hoping to bring trouble to the Zhao family.

As for the rumors that spread more and more outrageous, and spread more and more widely, it was not what Meng Zhang could have thought of in advance.

When he participated in the Foundation Establishment Ceremony of the Linshan Sect, Meng Zhang met monks from the Zhao family, and he used his innate supernatural power to read the minds of several low-level monks. I have a certain understanding of the internal situation of the Zhao family.

Therefore, Meng Zhang's improvised lie is full of details and sounds very credible.

While lying to Zhou Shengkao, Meng Zhang secretly used his telepathy and began to read Zhou Shengkao's thoughts.

Both Zhou Shengkao and him are late-stage Qi refining monks. Meng Zhang can't read too deep thoughts, but can only read some superficial thoughts to figure out Zhou Shengkao's general emotions.

Based on Zhou Shengkao's emotional reaction and some thoughts that emerged in his mind, Meng Zhang adjusted his language in a timely manner to make what he said more credible and more in line with Zhou Shengkao's intentions.

Meng Zhang talked for a while before telling the whole story.

After Zhou Shengkao finished listening, his face was expressionless and he didn't say much.

In his mind, Meng Zhang's statement was quite credible. After repeated scrutiny, no doubts were found.

Most importantly, what Meng Zhang said sounded particularly pleasing to the ear, especially in line with his own thoughts and expectations.

After finishing speaking, Meng Zhang made a guilty expression, and in fact secretly operated his Xintong with all his strength to read Zhou Shengkao's mind.

Zhou Shengkao was in a good mood, and he didn't have any malice towards himself.

After Zhou Shengkao thought about it for a while, he asked Meng Zhang to repeat what he said just now.

After listening to Meng Zhang's patient repetition, he asked Meng Zhang a lot of questions.

Meng Zhang's answer was all right and in line with his own wishes.

At this time, Zhou Shengkao finally confirmed that Meng Zhang had not lied.

Zhou Shengkao, who believed in Meng Zhang, softened a lot.

"You kid, you spread rumors indiscriminately, but you caused a lot of trouble."

"Do you know that three days ago, our sect sent an envoy to summon Zhao Yanbei, the Patriarch of the Zhao family. The Zhao family responded that Zhao Yanbei had already gone on a trip and was not at home."

"Later, the envoy found out that not only Zhao Yanbei, the head of the family, but most of the Zhao family's masters in the late stage of Qi refining have left the family and disappeared."

What Zhou Shengkao said made Meng Zhang happy. Needless to say, self-spreading rumors played a role. That's why Shuangfenggu sent envoys to summon Zhao Family Patriarch Zhao Yanbei.

Zhao Yanbei was not at home, most likely because he hid out of guilty conscience, so he did not dare to meet the envoy of Shuangfenggu.

"Later, our door found out that the two flying boats of the Zhao family went directly to the east after leaving the Zhao family."

Hearing this, Meng Zhang understood. To the east is the territory of the Feihong Sect, and the monks of the Zhao family should go there to find a way to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It doesn't matter whether the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yanbei, and others intentionally avoid the envoys of Shuangfeng Valley. His actions violated the taboo of Shuangfeng Valley.

As a vassal of Shuangfenggu, but went over Shuangfenggu and directly contacted Feihongzong, this is clearly slapping Shuangfenggu in the face.

It doesn't matter whether the Zhao family can exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, or whether they can cultivate Foundation Establishment stage monks. After this incident, Shuangfeng Valley decidedly couldn't tolerate the Zhao family anymore.

The Zhao family is finished, and a strong enemy has gone to the Taiyi Gate. Although the method is a bit disgraceful, it works.

He was happy in his heart, but he was still calm on the surface.

Seeing Meng Zhang's pretendingly innocent expression, Zhou Shengkao scolded with a smile: "You're lucky, kid, the rumors you spread by accident happened to break through the Zhao family's misconduct."

"Huh, these villains who eat inside and out, don't think about the master's family first when they have benefits, but they collude with outsiders behind the master's back and want to monopolize it."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shengkao was a little angry.

In his eyes, the Zhao family must have had a stroke of luck and discovered a large number of spiritual objects. The Zhao family didn't want to enshrine the spiritual objects to the main family of Shuangfeng Valley, but went to curry favor with Feihongzong, which was obviously eating inside and outside.

Zhou Shengkao and Meng Zhang chatted for a long time before ending the conversation.

Before parting, Zhou Shengkao reminded Meng Zhang that he had better stay in Mingshafang City for the next period of time and not run around, lest he could not find him.

Coming out of the small courtyard, Meng Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Good luck, this level is finally over. Regarding the matter of the abandoned mine, I have nothing to do with him for the time being.

After Zhou Shengkao sent Meng Zhang away, he also left this small courtyard.

He turned around in the back alley and came to an inconspicuous house.

The elders of Shuangfenggu, Single Eagle and Single Tiger, are sitting with their legs crossed in the center of the room. Beside him, a middle-aged man stood by.

"How, what did that kid say?"

As soon as Zhou Shengkao entered the room, Shan Ying asked urgently.

Zhou Shengkao recounted the conversation between himself and Meng Zhang completely, without missing anything.

After listening to Zhou Shengkao's narration, Shan Ying and Shan Hu looked at each other without speaking.

It was the middle-aged man who stood by and asked suspiciously: "Is that kid trustworthy? Brother Zhou, are you sure you weren't deceived by that kid?"

The middle-aged man is Shanhu's confidant, named Li Zhanli. His role next to Shan Hu is similar to Zhou Shengkao's role next to Shan Ying.

Probably some kind of competitive relationship, he and Zhou Shengkao are friendly on the surface, but secretly there is a lot of trouble.
