Chapter 427: The person who takes the blame is a perfect match

"How about you pretend to be chased by me all the way, and take your people to seek refuge with King Qingyuan?"

Xu Yang's words seemed to be a suggestion, but his tone revealed an undeniable authority, making it impossible for anyone to disobey.

Huang Wu Jiu's expression slightly shifted. She hadn't expected that the Young Master would ask her to be a double agent on King Qingyuan's side. Could it be that the Young Master also had a rift with King Qingyuan? No, it should be said that the noble behind the Young Master and the backer behind King Qingyuan were also enemies?

"Are you unwilling?"

Xu Yang's voice turned cold.

"Of course, I'm willing, but I might not be able to gain the trust of King Qingyuan unless you leave some marks on us. That way, he might believe us."

Huang Wu Jiu proactively suggested that Xu Yang attack them, leaving some wounds on their bodies.

Xu Yang glanced at Huang Wu Jiu with surprise. He didn't expect his beast pet to be so ruthless to herself, actually volunteering to be injured.

Knowing that Xu Yang would be puzzled, Huang Wu Jiu didn't hide anything and told Xu Yang all the reasons why she would do this.

After hearing this, Xu Yang instantly understood why Huang Wu Jiu was working so hard. It turned out that his choice to attack King Qingyuan was also of great benefit to her. There was a high possibility that the Ghost Phoenix Clan could join the sect of a noble, so that the development of the Ghost Phoenix Clan would no longer be restricted.

But Huang Wu Jiu seemed to have misunderstood something. His attack on King Qingyuan was not because the noble behind him had a feud with the backer behind King Qingyuan. He chose King Qingyuan as his target simply because he was a being from the Upper Realm, and he was very interested in the mysterious bamboo stick in his hand. He wanted to snatch it and compare it with the Little Pagoda and Eastern Emperor Bell he possessed to see which one was more miraculous.

If the Little Pagoda and Eastern Emperor Bell knew Xu Yang's thoughts, they would probably come out of the system space and spit in Xu Yang's face.

What kind of garbage is the bamboo stick? It's not even worthy of carrying their shoes, hmph~

"Young Master, come on, I can withstand it!"

Huang Wu Jiu closed her eyes, appearing as if she was at Xu Yang's disposal.

Fortunately, Xu Yang was not lustful and had principles. Otherwise, this disposal might have become perverted. He casually slapped Huang Wu Jiu and the people behind her.

Pfft!

Huang Wu Jiu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning extremely pale.

The beings behind her were even more severely injured. The beings who had originally been dissatisfied with Xu Yang, after feeling the power of this palm, looked at Xu Yang with eyes that became clearer and more filled with awe.

No wonder their Miss chose to surrender at first sight. It turned out that she had seen the horror of the Young Master's strength!

"Huang'er, go. If you encounter any danger, crush this jade talisman, and I will know!"

Xu Yang bestowed a jade talisman to Huang Wu Jiu. This jade talisman was something he casually crafted in his spare time. It contained a wisp of his divine sense. Once crushed, his divine sense would return to his main body, so he would know that Huang Wu Jiu had encountered an unsolvable danger, and he would be able to arrive as soon as possible.

Huang Wu Jiu was a little overwhelmed by the favor. She didn't expect Xu Yang to treat her like this. She held it with both hands and respectfully accepted the jade talisman from Xu Yang's hand, treasuring it in her arms, saying:

"Thank you, Young Master, for bestowing the talisman!"

"Go, Huang'er, don't disappoint me."

Xu Yang casually waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Young Master."

Huang Wu Jiu slowly retreated with her people, locked onto the general direction of King Qingyuan, pretending to be chased by Xu Yang, and fled at top speed.

After Huang Wu Jiu left with her people.

Ji Daoxuan came out, glanced at Qing Zhi, who was still massaging Xu Yang's shoulders, and signaled with his eyes whether to kill her.

Qing Zhi was keenly aware. How could she not notice Ji Daoxuan's fierce killing intent towards her? It was completely undisguised, causing her delicate body to tremble uncontrollably, and her legs were weak. She was about to fall to the ground, but she didn't dare to fall, and instead massaged Xu Yang even harder.

"No need, just say what you want to say directly."

Xu Yang shook his head, stopping Ji Daoxuan from taking action.

Since Xu Yang had said so, Ji Daoxuan naturally wouldn't do anything extra and asked:

"Young Master, do you think she can gain the trust of King Qingyuan?"

Xu Yang didn't answer but turned to look at Qing Zhi behind him and asked with a smile:

"Zhi'er, what do you think?"

Qing Zhi shook her head in fear: "Reporting to the Young Master, Zhi'er doesn't know."

Xu Yang said: "Speak boldly, I will pardon you."

Seeing that the Young Master had said so, if she didn't speak, she was afraid that she would displease the Young Master, so she could only say:

"That King Qingyuan seems arrogant and conceited, but he is actually very cunning and suspicious. My Miss... cough cough, just based on Huang Wu Jiu's words alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain his trust. After all, Huang Wu Jiu and he are enemies."

Xu Yang nodded: "That's right, that's what I think too."

Ji Daoxuan's expression was a little strange: "Then why did you..."

Xu Yang said: "Naturally, Huang'er alone cannot gain the trust of King Qingyuan, but what if I find a few more groups of people?"

In fact, taking Huang Wu Jiu as a beast pet was also a spur-of-the-moment decision. He originally wanted to kill all these people, but on second thought, if he killed them all, it might cause a violent reaction from the Upper Realm. Maybe they would send down a few old monsters in anger to investigate the situation. By that time, even if he hid in the Cloud Dream Immortal Realm, he might not be safe and would risk being discovered.

It's better to kill some, take some, and release some. The advantage of doing this is that it won't cause much of a stir, it's not easy to be discovered, and he can quietly extend his claws to the Upper Realm to better collect intelligence. He can know any movements in the Upper Realm as soon as possible, so as to avoid risks.

Ji Daoxuan understood something, his eyes shining: "Young Master, this plan is wonderful!"

Xu Yang smiled. What he thought was not only this. Having Chen Xu alone to take the blame for him might not be enough, because in these days, the things he had committed, killing so many beings from the Upper Realm, once it was reported back to the Upper Realm, it was estimated that it would cause a major earthquake in the Upper Realm. What was Chen Xu's identity? Just the son of a Heavenly Immortal, how could he bear such a big blame?

Therefore, Xu Yang very considerately looked for another scapegoat. This scapegoat was King Qingyuan. He learned from Huang Zhongtian and Huang Wu Jiu that this person relied on the backer behind him and acted recklessly, almost at odds with everyone and antagonizing everyone. This persona was perfectly in line with the image of a scapegoat. When the time came, he could completely say that all the dead beings from the Upper Realm were killed by King Qingyuan.

As for evidence, so many witnesses should count, right?!
